Artist Profile
Raheleh Amirbahrami
Visual Artist based in Tehran, Iran
Raheleh Amirbahrami (b.1991 Tehran, Iran) holds a bachelor's degree in graphic design from Shariati University. Amirbahrami started painting in 2016 and, at the same time, studied the history of art and art criticism. Her collaborations with magazines, newspapers, and art journals, and interviewing artists, and writing art criticism have been a turning point in her encounter with art. Bahrami currently works in the medium of painting and installation. Artmaking for her is not creating a new object and concept but revising the images, theories, and ideas to ask questions and challenge their original position. Socio-political history, language, and history of art are the most important sources of her encounter with art. In her artworks, Amirbahrami tries to widen the gap between reality and what is perceived by adding and juxtaposing different mediums and collaging various unrelated concepts and images.
