Amir Akhavan
"Portrait of a Lion (Green Ribbon)"

2014

About the Item

To Amir Hossein Akhavan, “nature” is not an abstraction. “Nature is not the forest and the trees as we so often define it, but all is nature.” Nor is painting an abstraction. The subjects or objects of painting can only be understood in relation to the environment in which they were conceived and to the environment within which they appear. Thus understood, subjects or objects lose their sub/objectivity and connect to a totality. Akhavan’s wild animals are bound by their frame. They represent the wild without being in the wild. Akhavan’s work encourages viewers to see beyond the frame and to connect to something wild… something that cannot be contained. - excerpted from the essay written by Sohrae Mahdavi for the exhibition entitled, “Creatures,” installed at The Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation, 2017

    Silkscreen on 2-Ply Museum Board 38 x 30 inches Edition of 20 2014 Carole Feuerman is one of the world’s foremost hyperrealist sculptors.
