CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTIST AMANEH ESKANDARI-ZOHREH
PAINTINGS, INSTALLATIONS, ART VIDEOS, PERFORMANCES, PHOTOGRAPHY…
On LARGE CANVASES, she creates the HUMAN–BODY, SHADOW, PORTRAIT ‘MASKED as one.
With the human being as her focus, ZOHREH approaches a wide range of subjects through multi-faceted meaning.
The Paintings,”Human–Body, Shadow, Portrait, Mask“ are framed-instances of human-existence, represented as a meditative act, as well as a reaction to our times.
Often viewed as framed instances, otherwise gone unseen in their original context of solid colors, ZOHREH, strives to create a new and mythical universe that merges in a visual vocabulary based upon Time and Space and Movement, a metaphor for the ever-seeking human who experiences continual loss.
Paintings, Installations, Art Videos, Performances, Photography to be jointed together with Intuition, Reason & Metaphors for Creating the Mythical Universe of ZOHREH, known as “MATRISTIC-CAVERN-LIFE“. She passes through The Past, The Present & The Future in a «HORIZON’S TIME TRIP», with herself as the STRANGER, the huge burden on her shoulders of crossing the dark cave of this millennia’s civilization, and the twelve episodes of a cellar’s imaginary, are a history of man caught in a maze of twisting and darkness. In doing so, she rushes to meet man and his legend.
In the beginning there was a shadow…
The shadow whispered and stepped in a journey so as it could play the music of its soul.
It walked everywhere, gazing upon everything; to any thing, which existed.
The ray of its glance was changed into the color of its imagination.
It made the colors move .it ignored them .the existence rose as a floating flag under its Footsteps.
All things became as an imagination entirely, farther than the shadow spreading on it.
“ZOHREH” artworks are meant to encapsulate the energy of a place, as mirrored by its emotional and spiritual vibrations.Furthermore, her performances, art-videos & new sequences are created to reveal an inseparable relationship between the visual, motion and sound which creates an experiential universe that emerges fractionally.

Artist’s Note
An infinity of me live inside of me.
I am a shadow of my forgotten ancestors;
In the dark womb of my mother;
In a cave obscure;
In the matrix of thousands-years-old civilizations;
I paint a remote image over and over – that same mask “me-Narcissus”
A half face in darkness, self-absorbed, while the other half, carried facing outward, focuses attention on the external.
The sun and the moon reside in my inner self;
as feelings are detained in the painting’s framework;
To be imprisioned over this « Mask » which carries and paints constantly…
Turning it into the disillusion by questioning :With a rigid half-erased mask, could I represent a world as rich in variety?
Could I define the voices and tastes of sensations?
Could I go beyond those definitions and borders, where the air would there be fresh ?”In 1997, I decided to leave behind to take a journey into the universe. In 2000, I started to use the concept of movement, time & space on my canvas and it has opened me up new horizons, and allowed me voyage toward as me-pregnant.Towards “Being-Born”… Towards “N’aître.”
