Press release
 

Dastan’s Basement presents “Distance   Flow”, an exhibition of printed paintings by Kimia Dehghan (b. 1998, Tehran). The exhibition, which includes unique printed editions of the digital works, will open on May 5, 2023, and continue through May 26. This is Kimia Dehghan’s first solo exhibition at Dastan’s Basement. Her work has been featured in several group exhibitions, including most recently at Dastan’s presentation at Art Dubai 2023. Kimia Dehghan’s most recent paintings take two paths: portraits of people shedding tears and natural landscapes. These works express a rift, a “separation” that she suggests is “all that we know: the distance between the creator and the created”. The Artist sees ‘tears’ as a means to “feed back into that rift”: a drop of tear, in her view, is a natural element that symbolizes mourning for the separation. Once a tear drops, it flows back to nature. The artist sees tears as a representation of separation and longing that feeds one’s imagination and desire for creation. Through her work, Kimia Dehghan invites the viewer to contemplate this ‘rift’, ideas such as distance and separation, and their impact on the perception of nature and oneself.
