Shahrokh Rezvani,"Peaceful State of Mind, #1, #2, #3," 2014 Triptych Paintings

Description: The triptych oil paintings on photograph of the painted model. These series of paintings are based on illusion and reality. Parallels....Article written and published by the internationally known artist:..(Rezvani utilizes the live female body as a canvas, painting upon various components that make up the torso and face, limbs, breasts, hair, hands, lips, cheeks, etc., breaking up and subdividing arbitrary areas into abstract localized shapes, textures, and colors somewhat in the manner of picasso's "Woman Looking at a Mirror," in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He uses oil colors in variation of flats, dots, and lines, blending to create a sensational organic flattened and rounded array of overtly sensuous visages and snakelike forms that slither, bend, subvert and unconventionally highlight tips of the body, dislocating members, projections, and extensions that destroy our "normal" perceptions. Once this Rezvani icon is frozen photographically, he commenses to repaint once more, though now it is over the photograph itself. In effect this process refines and morphs his abstraction into another phase of the illusion, correcting, restoring, honing each detail into the whole. The contrasting of smooth silk textures against beaded hair, soft flesh against rigidly painted outlining, the change of human expression and surrealistic "remaking" of the anatomy in this final stage of the artwork evolves into an illusion of reality, and/or reality of illusion. The paintings disturb, amuse, titilate and draw both scorn and admiration for their biting innovative commentary on melancholy weariness in contemporary life).
