About the Item

History, memory and the post-tribal inform the work of Persian-born artist Firouz Farman Farmaian, whose lifetime of living in exile in Paris, in Andalusia and in North Africa profoundly influenced both his creative practice and individual character. "It is circumstance that ultimately shapes lives" says the artist, whose work seeks to actively engage in bridging dialogues between past and future, east and west, archaic craft and innovative technology. As such, his compositions possess a vivacious and spontaneous energy, as well as a deeply symbolic quality, which speaks to a multiplicity of currents in ecology, politics, art and philosophy. Originally rooted in Persian lore and focused on themes of nature, architectonics and interplay between realism and abstraction, Farman Farmaian's ever evolving body of work presents deep underlying explorative segments united by common motifs of movement and texture. The raw and visceral emotion of his pieces is tempered by material properties often produced and sourced within the framework of tribal collaborative craftsmanship. FarmanFarmaian's Bambara (Essaouira Collection) is part of the artist's first textile collaboration with Juncture Gallery, announced as a Limited Edition of 10. In this most recent textile oriented iteration, Contemporary Artist Firouz FarmanFarmaian delves into the Malian origin of Essaouira's Gnawa Culture delving into semiotics derived from Central African tribal designs, echoing the relocation of the artist's studio from Arhens to Essaouira, Morocco.
