Different Kinds of Incomplete
Ballon Rouge Collective recently announced the opening of
Iranian painter Yasaman Nozari’s debut solo
show in Belgium “Different Kinds of Incomplete”. The
exhibition opened on September 12th and will be on
view until November 2nd, 2024.Different Kinds of
Incomplete,Nozari’s first solo exhibition with Ballon
Rouge,
is an apt title as a reflection of both these paintings and
Nozari’s practice.
In this series, she aims to achieve a collage-like feeling by
producing different types of imagery on a single canvas,
like a chimera. One recurring object is a cup.
For Nozari, the cup is a metaphor for painting itself - a
space to be filled, a study of light, surfaces, shapes,
reflections, and the everyday.
A man-made utilitarian object used rhythmically but always
with a new texture and perspective.
The paintings represent the collision she seeks in her work,
and her aim to act as a mediator within her abstract world.
