5 September 2010 - 2 October 2010
One of Iran's promising young talents is Ahoo Hamedi. She was born in 1981 in
Iran. Hamedi studied at the Azad University of Fine Arts, Tehran where she
received her BA. Ahoo Hamedi's paintings are matured works of art that bear
resemblance to sketches a painter would draw to start a major project. Her
style is characterized by a striking lightness that reflects skill with
watercolor, absence of background, lucid brushstrokes and clarity of the
finished work. The completed and signed paintings she presents to the viewer are
as though the painter has painted them for herself. Each painting could be a
page of her diary; like the scattered thoughts we put on paper to somehow
explore our identity: notes made with the intention of self-discovery. The
search for one's self is an endeavor of not just this painter, but an entire
generation that, like Ahoo Hamedi, feels lost in a society where a broad gap
divides the existing reality and the publicized ideology. Hamedi has had solo
and group exhibitions in such countries as Iran, UK, Canada, and Dubai. She is
also a member of the Association of Iranian Painters. Ahoo Hamedi is presently
living and working in Tehran.
Artist's Statement: I believe in the power of subconscious self, inner feelings and instinctive
beauties that are within an artist. And I also believe that all these are
reflected in an artist's art.
Every impressive work of art communicates the artist's feelings to the viewer.
Because the first thing that links the viewer to the piece of art is that
unconscious feeling that is implicit in that work.
I take pleasure in the joy of painting and transmit that pleasure through my
work to the viewer .Without that joy and pleasure there could be no
communication.
The quality of the artist's life and his or her experiences are depicted in an
art work.
My thoughts materialize in my works whether I want it or not. First I create an
art work and then I think about it and discover, realize and sometime even
decode the inner meanings and possible symbolism that are painted in my works.
I haven't named any of my pieces because by doing so I impose my own
interpretation on the viewer. The viewer must always remain free to decide what
to see and what to interpret.
I depict women because I find in them the smooth shapes and lines I look for and
I feel the same smoothness and freedom while I am working in ink.
