Iranian artist Kamyar Bineshtarigh presents a selection of mixed-media abstract works for the Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2024 as part of the SOLO Section, curated by Sean O’Toole.
The booth will bring together ink on canvas works from his Khat-Khati, Hafez and Gazal series, alongside layered paintings lifted from the walls of his studio – so covering a range from his most recent series. The presentation traces the artist's longstanding engagement with language, mark-making and abstraction as tools to examine structures of power and oppression.
Bineshtarigh’s practice speaks to curator Sean O’Toole’s thematic focus on the boundaries and limitations of contemporary painting – its “processes, materials and iconography but also its history and ontological character as a discrete medium”.
Bineshtarigh also joined Andile Dyalvane for "Themes of Language and Migration Across Media", a conversation with art critic Sean O’Toole and art historian Olivia Barrell as part of the ICTAF Talks Programme for 2024. The artists explored how language, movement and displacement informs their work and translates into their respective artistic mediums, and discussed the role of collaboration and community in their work.
