Nazanin Pouyandeh
Musée Paul Valéry – Sète
The Musée Paul Valéry in Sète is dedicating a solo show to Nazanin Pouyandeh until March 2, 2025
By revisiting classic themes and adapting them to current contexts, Nazanin Pouyandeh questions the relevance of historical narratives and their resonance in contemporary society. This approach underlines painting’s ability to renew itself and engage in dialogue with its own heritage, while opening up to current influences.
Soulèvement des âmes noires
The artist
Born in Teheran in 1981, Nazanin Pouyandeh was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in 2000, where she joined the studio of painter Pat Andrea. Her technical virtuosity brings the verist dimension of her painting to a climax, although there is no link with hyperrealism. In fact, Nazanin Pouyandeh draws on all available sources of imagery, as the boundaries between arts, eras and cultures have become permeable. The result is a feeling of formal strangeness that has much to do with dreams. Nazanin Pouyandeh questions collective representations of women, as well as themes of eroticism and violence.
