Parto Dehlavi est née en Iran en 1958. Férue de la poésie persane et diplômée du Conservatoire libre du cinéma français, elle s'est spécialisée dans la réalisation et le montage des productions cinématographiques. Depuis 10 ans, elle travaille sur les couleurs et leurs interactions pour exprimer sa vision singulière et poétique de l'environnement dans lequel elle évolue après son exil. Si le support de ces tableaux s'inscrit dans les courants minimalistes et Op-Art, le travail de Parto Dehlavi est d'y agréger la couleur comme matériau central.
Dans ses peintures elle cherche à saisir l'essence du monde qui nous entoure en conjuguant la délicatesse et le raffinement de la culture persane avec la rigueur des formes géométriques. L'instabilité, l'injustice, les doutes, le deuil, la maladie... sont exprimées sous sa palette par un travail qui s'inspire du mysticisme et du rationnel. et qui tente de trouver un sens à l'insensé. Du Singulier au Pluriel est la première exposition des oeuvres de Parto Dehlavi.
English translation:
Parto Dehlavi was born in Iran in 1958. A passionate of Persian poetry
and a graduate of the Free Conservatory of French Cinema, she has specialized in
producing and editing film productions. For 10 years she worked on colors and
their interactions to express her unique and poetic vision of the environment in
which she operates after her exile. If the support for these paintings is within
the current Minimalist and Op Art, the work Parto Dehlavi is to aggregate color
as the central material.
In her paintings she tries to grasp the essence of the world around us in
combining the delicacy and refinement of Persian culture with the rigor of
geometric shapes. Instability, injustice, doubt, grief, illness ... are
expressed by her work palette inspired by the mysticism and the rational while
trying to make sense of the senseless. From Singular to Plural is the first
exhibition of the works by Parto Dehlavi.
