Shahla Dorafshan
Expressionist Oil on Canvas Painting, "My Black Shoes"

About the Item

This is a one of a kind original figurative oil painting on canvas by San Diego artist Shahla Dorafshan. Its dimensions are 48"x36". It is unframed. A certificate of authenticity will follow its delivery. Shahla Dorafshan is not a portrait artist. The model becomes the visual basis for a raw self-portrait, reflecting the artist’s experience in another face, another posture or gesture. In the tradition of Edward Hopper, Dorafshan pulls us into a likeness of the world uniquely her own, where nothing is neutral. Even light transcends the mechanical duty of modeling the features, to become an agent in service of a complex subtext. Her latest work carries a feeling of mystery, figures, captured in private moments, in fleeting gestures of longing or repose. The work is filled with languid energy, with contemplation of action implied in stillness, with vivacity. As always, there is a moment in looking at Dorafshan’s work, where the painting begins to “look back” at you, engaging, questioning. Who is this woman and what is she doing? Seemingly not much, yet there is something she wants to tell you…to show you… - Wes Chester
