Sadra Baniasadi | "Dog Language": Dastan's Basement

TEHRAN – February 3, 2016. Dastan’s Basement is pleased to announce the opening of Sadra Bani-Asadi’s solo exhibition “Dog Language” on February 5, 2016. The exhibition will be open for public viewing through February 13. This is Sadra Bani-Asadi’s first solo exhibition at Dastan’s Basement. His work has been previously featured in two group exhibitions at Dastan as well as a Dastan Outside the Basement project in Sam Art (Tehran).
In “Dog Language”, Sadra Bani-Asadi crosses the borders of illustration, cartoon, painting and storytelling to present an alternative universe to the viewer — a universe that mixes the realities of our lives and musings over the artist’s perspectives. Sadra Bani-Asadi’s allusions to everyday events create a parodical playfulness that both refer to the artist’s background in cartoon-making and his desire for creating a comprehensive narrative structure.
