This contemporary artwork features two simple line drawings on a neutral background. The first image displays a collection of abstract shapes and forms, including a pear-like figure, a rectangular object, and scattered lines, creating a sense of playfulness and spontaneity. The second drawing depicts a row of rounded shapes, potentially representing various fruits or objects, arranged in a minimal and rhythmic composition.
The artist appears to employ a minimalist approach, using basic lines and shapes to convey a sense of balance and visual interest. The sparse yet deliberate use of the medium, likely black ink or pencil, adds a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the work.
While the subject matter is relatively simple and unassuming, the artwork invites the viewer to engage with the subtle interplay of forms and the underlying conceptual themes, which may relate to the artist's exploration of everyday objects, abstraction, or the essence of visual perception. ...
Born in Tehran (Iran) in 1994, Armineh Negahdari lives in Bordeaux (France). She received a Master's degree in painting from the University of Art and Architecture of Tehran in 2019 and a Higher National Diploma of Plastic Expression at École Supérieure d'art de Clermont-Ferrand in 2022. Since then, she has participated to the 16th edition of nopoto in Paris, and to the 28th edition of Première, at the occasion of the France-Portugal season. It included a group exhibition at Meymac art center (France) which took place from 30.10.22 to 15.01.23 followed by a show at Centro de Arte Oliva in Sao Joao da Madeira from 8.04 to 16.06.23. Her work has recently been shown at Grand Café in Saint-Nazaire (France) in the group exhibition "Souvenir Nouveau" (cur. Anne Bonnin) from 09.06 to 10.09.2023, and she recently had a solo show at Marcelle Alix in Paris (France) from 7.09 to 7.10.23. ...
We founded Marcelle Alix in 2009 in Paris and settled in a characteristic, early 20th-century boutique in Belleville. The gallery is for us a creative space, where the dialog with artists is not only meant to selling artworks, but is also based on an equal relationship to creativity. We now represents thirteen artists and two duos. Our identity has been built with the support of the artists who opened our programme (Aurélien Froment, Louise Hervé & Clovis Maillet, Charlotte Moth, Ernesto Sartori, Marie Voignier) and those we introduced to the French art scene (Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz, Ian Kiaer, Donna Gottschalk). During these years, we have supported broad artistic careers (Laura Lamiel, Liz Magor and Mira Schor whose work we represent exclusively in Europe) and accompanied the development of new perspectives in sculpture (Gyan Panchal, Jean-Charles de Quillacq) in video (Lola Gonzàlez), and in drawing (Armineh Negahdari). Our gallery has been a pioneer in defining a space for queer art in France : in addition to showing her work within the artist duo Boudry/Lorenz since 2011, we have directed the translation into French of Renate Lorenz's 2012 seminal book, « Queer Art » in 2018. Since 2019, we have exhibited photographs by Donna Gottschalk documenting the lives of women living with women who were involved in the lesbian movement in the United States in the 1970s. In 2023 we organised an exhibition for the Utopi.e award—first award in France for Lgbtqi+ art—for which we have invited Paris galleries Air de Paris and Sultana as fellow participants. We insist on the central role of a gallery in the ecosystem of art as a place to make idiosyncratic positions visible and weave a critical narrative around the most contemporary visual forms. ...
