Maryam Hoseini’s paintings depict fractured, headless bodies navigating a landscape of architectural fragments and jagged shards, suggesting ruins or the aftermath of disaster. Exploring the subtle relationship between bodies, physical space, and the politics of narrative  and painted in a bold geometric style and rendered in sumptuous colors, Hoseini’s paintings find levity and pleasure within incompleteness and breakages. By using shaped canvases that engage with the surrounding architecture, Hoseini positions the viewers as voyeurs into her painted worlds while examining the concept of ruins, displacement, and fracture.
