Samira Alikhanzadeh (Iranian, b. 1967), #12 From the Family Album...
Samira Alikhanzadeh (Iranian, b. 1967), #12 From the Family Album series, 2008, acrylic and mirror on printed board, signed, dated, and inscribed '3/3', 80 x 120cm. Fragmentation, perspective and memory are key to Alikhanzadeh’s philosophy and craft. Using found photographs and imagery that echoes back to a pre-revolutionary Iran, Alikhanzadeh’s work evokes the poignancy produced by the passing of time. Alikhanzadeh’s warm colour and tone render her subjects familiar yet she dichotomises this warmth with stark contemporary touches, thus her subjects remain somewhat distant and incomplete. Her use of perspective emphases the connection between the viewer and the viewed, whilst denying nostalgic familiarity the opportunity to mask the divide between the two.
