In her new series of paintings, Atousa Bandeh searches for ephemeral moments of equilibrium and silence in her observations. These small and not dramatic moments are landscapes of forms and colours, mostly occupied by obscure and unclear actions taken by bodies.
Bandeh composes the bodies as weightless entities floating in the painting and firmly rejects any material distinction between the body and its surrounding. She, instead, brings the body back to its purest meaning of form between other forms, with the intention of releasing it from any gender, race, or political labelling.
