Identity Crisis
by Nazy Kaviani30-Nov-2011
These images of young girls who have so thoroughly immersed in their fantastic world demonstrate the crisis of identity amongst the middle-class new generation of Iranian women. As one treads a path among these flamboyant features one easily identifies them as stereotypical adolescent city girl in today Iran. Vanity, overindulgence, artificiality, extravagance; these are the expressions which come up in a spectator’s mind in the first place. Homa Arkani has presented her familiar and, at the same time, awkward characters in both indoors and public places, creating a psychically-charged space to reveal the characteristics of this section of the society. In her painting exhibition Share Me, Arkani addresses the ways in which hybrid identities of the generation of female youth have been performed in Iranian urban life >>> homa-arkani.com

بسیار عالی بود
An artist to be reckoned with!
by Ari Siletz on Thu Dec 01, 2011 03:09 PM PSTThough Arkani's critique of this Iranian subculture makes me bristle, her works are so powerful as to elicit great admiration for the artist.
Uneven discernment; insights go deeper where there is bitterness. However, if #12 is a self portrait I welcome her perspective in the context of the spirit in which it is offered.
Amazing suject to work on.
