About Kiarash Alimi
Kiarash Alimi’s subtle play of colour and visual perception stems from the artist’s self-reflection. For Alimi, thinking and contemplating through the physical act of doing is essential to the creative act. The manipulation of hues, proportions, and details creates a delicate balance between abstraction and its inviting feeling. In his series Too dad; can’t tell (2020), Alimi addresses the traumatic relationship between a father and a child viewed through the lens of his drawing process. Consisting of isolated visual representations – a hand, a horse, a car – his drawings escape cohesive narrative. Instead, there is a fragmented sincerity characteristic of human nature itself.
