About the Item

The Revolution's Night is an original painting realized by Iranian Painter and Poet Parimah Avani in 2023. China ink and acrylic on framed canvas. Hand signed and dated. Excellent conditions. Presented in a Solo exhibition of "Calligraphy of Bodies" in Luoghi Comuni Turin 2023. The artwork is expressively and poetically created, the well-applied dry and watery strokes represent gestural revolutionary figures in a minimalistic manner in a miniature style of composition. which makes this series unique: it is deeply behind the dynamic emotion of each gestural figure, four colors here have metaphorical features; pink as woman, yellow as hope, silvery as resistance, and red as blood. another aspect that stands out in this art is the vigorous and unbridled energy of brushstrokes. Her Series could be described as raw, spontaneous, and emotionally charged. Gestures are a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on social and political issues. Parimah Avani, born in 1988 in Tehran, Iran, is a multidisciplinary artist with various solo  and group exhibitions, performances, and published illustrations and writings. She is a  recognized figure in contemporary hermetic Persian literature and the avant-garde "Other"  movement. Her book, "Magic Verses of Antalus," was a finalist for the prestigious  "Shamlou" Award. Her most recent achievement is winning an art competition for a  scholarship and an art residency at Werkstatt Plettenberg in Germany, culminating in a  solo exhibition held at the Gallery of the German Bank of Sparkasse.  Avani's artistic journey began with travels to China and Russia during her formative years,  oriental philosophies, particularly Zen and Buddhism, and folk arts ignited her passion for  comparative mythology evident in her archaic style. In 2009, she moved to Rome, Italy to  study multimedia art, gained Master’s in painting at the Fine Art Academy of Rome.  Immersed in cultural parallels between East and West, mythological themes and  transcends boundaries in art, exploring magic and ancient scripts inspired by the scholarly  insights of Frazer and Eliade on rituals. Her anthropological view culminated in a Ph.D. in  the history of contemporary art from Sapienza University, achieving excellence and honor.  Her significant project, “Antalus," has led to published writings, performances, and visual  art, —a multidimensional world-building endeavor that defies convention. Within the  fictional lands of Antalus, she has constructed a diverse tapestry of cultures, rituals by  archaic representations, including imaginary alphabets, calendars, maps, fantasy  creatures, and botanical wonders—rooted in her travels, research, and homeland  nostalgia.  Her works merge and recontextualize allegories and folk traditions in a contemporary  context, and symbology.

Silvery Song of Resistance - Paint by Parimah Avani - 2022
Located in Roma, IT
Silvery Song of Resistance is a Drawing realized by Iranian Painter and Poet Parimah Avani in 2022. China ink and acrylic on ivory-colored paper. Hand-signed and dated with the embossing stamp. Excellent conditions. Presented in a Personal exhibition of "le Poesie Di Lutto e Di Lotta " (The Poems of Struggle and Mourning) curated by Leda Bartolucci in Turin, Italy, Bagni Pubblici, 2022. The artwork is poetically created through expressionistic brush strokes, the well-applied dry and watery strokes from the series “The Poems of Struggle and Mourning " representing revolutionary figures in a minimalistic manner. The figure on the right and left made an impressive composition dynamically. What makes this series unique: is deeply behind the dynamic emotion of each figure and abstract form, four colors here have metaphorical features; pink as woman, yellow as hope, silvery as resistance, and red as blood. Her works in this series challenge oppression, torture, censorship, and gender-related issues themes by applying oriental brushstrokes of calligraphy in ink as a primary tool, to fragile subjects. She portrays her Eastern identity through materials and techniques as a fundament, adding themes of today's socio-political concerns. In her Exhibition "Heroine's Journey" presented in the Sparkasse Plettenberg, Germany in 2023, with the same approach successfully presented revolutionary and rebellious gestures figures. The panoramic lines inspired by Persian calligraphy created motifs and repetition harmoniously in a neat composition,  each reminding mysterious words. The style of Persian calligraphy and her knowledge of poetry let her create a visual poem in an expressionistic style,  the use of space and maintaining an empty background and foreground intentionally have been made to emphasize the solitude and loneliness of figures and at the same time connect to oriental calligraphy in which empty space has the same value as the filled one, succeed to create pure incarnation. Avani's artworks have evident characteristics, firstly strongly inspired by Tachisme's “Abstraction lyrique" and artworks of Henri Michaux, and Hans Hurting secondly oriental Persian calligraphy of poem style is evident in her artworks, finally dynamic sensation of revolutionary art, the slogan of street wall transformed into contemporary language and its features intuitively are subtly inserted. Parimah Avani, born in 1988 in Tehran, Iran, is a multidisciplinary artist and a recognized figure in contemporary hermetic Persian literature and the avant-garde "Other" movement. Her book, "Magic Verses of Antalus," was a finalist for the prestigious "Shamlou" Award.
