Compelling circumstances
Paintings
By Behroo Bagheri
November 11, 2003
The Iranian
The emphasis in my work is to generate a social
narrative, which deals with my repressed feelings and frustrations
as a woman who has undergone compelling circumstances in the
contemporary Middle East. I have developed a style of painting,
based on my studies on children's paintings aged from 2 to 8.
I enjoy building a contrast between the disturbing content of
the painting and the innocent abstract images.
I visually describe and criticize the seductions
of the cleric establishments of the region, who have ultimate
power, and have
mismanaged the countries into a state of senseless poverty.
My works are mostly the voice of those in my generation who have
been overruled by the Islamic Regime, a generation of people
who have suffered from the oppressive atmosphere of the Fundamentalist
society with its restrictive policies and discriminations.
