Reza Aramesh

Using photography, sculpture, collage, drawing, video and performance, Reza Aramesh recounts war reportage of violence as well as echoing the vision of fervent revival of the cycles of life. Reza’s work generates discussion towards topics of displacement, war, violence and trauma by using the subjected body as source material. He engages with contemporary culture, political, and social concern at the same time he picks up key points of western art history to engage in a visual dialogue whilst questioning the iconography of suffering represented by artists within European art historical canon.
