Artists: Manijeh Yadegar

 

Manijeh Yadegar

About the artist...

Manijeh's works are a combination of many sources, but start with the preparation of an impasto ground of one, solid colour, often an earth hue, which is then worked over with liquid veils of different densities. This creates a subtle range of tints to emerge from the common ground.

The resultant marks and washes echo the physical rhythms of the body. Areas of dark and light take turns in the dominant role. There is a strong element of spatial interweaving, an interplay between figure and ground, a contrasting of soft and hard edge changing the focus from sharp to hazy.
