Nargess Hashemi: ‘The Pleasure in Boredom’

Nargess Hashemi’s work is characterized by its biting, yet loving take on ordinariness. Using commonplace materials like felt pens, acetate, tracing and wrapping paper, the young artist’s scenes of everyday family life express both quietude and anxiety and depict a world in which affect and memory and dream and reality often overlap. The references to Iran are many, from the figures drawn from Qajar-era painting to the styles of clothing or domestic architecture depicted. Pattern was inevitably always present, but it has become the dominant and sole theme in Hashemi’s new carpet series on view in 'The Pleasure in Boredom' (January 12 – February 27, 2014), her current solo show at the Isabelle van den Eynde Gallery in Dubai.
