Contemporary Perception
By Atousa M. Tabrizi

Contemporary Perception is a body of work presented
exclusively at Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown that engages the
viewers through the unexpected marriage of traditional crafts,
steeped in history, with hyper-contemporary, distorted images
in the form of melting paint that alters the pattern on the
Persian rugs.

The artist combines cultural and historical crafts
with modern digital techniques employing computing to sketch
her works, then she chooses an intricate traditional painting
method with oil to transfer her imagined designs on black
velvet. Her hand-painted carpet designs transform and appear
as though the pigments in the rug are melting into a wavy
pattern of oil on water.

The exhibition is from 22 February – 30 April, 2023
Open to the public, free of charge
