Pooya Aryanpour Unfinished Bridge 2014 Acrylic on canvas 66.9 in diameter Courtesy of the artist Estimate: $15,000 - $20,000
Unfinished Bridge from Pooya Aryanpour’s new series entitled ‘Transient Dreams in Passing Fantasy’, are “forms of organic phenomena of the past that reminisce dissected or lacerated organs recreated through blending with residual materials and elements of oriental fantasy.”Aryanpour has held several solo exhibitions in Sweden and Iran and participated in a number of group shows internationally.

Mohammad Bozorgi Destiny 3 2013 Acrylic on canvas 46.4 x 70.9 in Courtesy of the artist
Estimate: $6,000 - $8,000 Mohammad Bozorgi approaches calligraphy with an architectural eye that is evident in the mathematical structure and symmetry of letters, especially those comprising his Crying for Honour series. Bozorgi’s masterful command of the centuries-old tradition is the result of intensive studies in classical calligraphic forms. After training with the Society of Iranian Calligraphers for over a decade, Bozorgi left to pursue more innovative calligraphic forms. Drawing from his background in engineering, he makes quantitative calculations when constructing his works, using the directives of geometry to create abstract illusions of movement and space. Building on the breakthroughs of his predecessors, such as those who led the Saqqakhaneh school of Iranian painters in the 1960s, Bozorgi is recognized as a leading figure among the “New Generation” of contemporary calligraphers.

Walid El Masri The Vow Tree 2013 Mixed media on canvas 39.4 x 31.5 in Courtesy of the artist and Ayyam Gallery, London Estimate: $6,000 - $8,000 In his new series, Syrian artist Walid El Masri continues formal investigations of movement, repetition, and the transcendence of the boundaries of the picture plane through expressive compositions that utilize space to create a sense of instability in the representation of time. Here, movement refers to four stages in the life-cycle of a butterfly, with a cocoon being, “the silky envelope spun by the larvae of many insects, as silkworms, serving as a covering while they are in the pupal stage,� whereas repetition refers to multiple representations of the same subject, and transcendence refers to the reach beyond the physical limits of the canvas, causing the viewer to find himself in media res, surrounded by pictorial elements. [ Excerpt from a statement on his 2014 exhibition at Ayyam Gallery, London ]

Lalla Essaydi Bullet 3 2009 Chromogenic print 40.2 x 29.9 in Edition of 15 Courtesy of Kashya Hildebrand Gallery Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000
Lalla A. Essaydi grew up in Morocco and now lives in the USA where she received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/TUFTS University in May 2003. Her art, which often combines Islamic calligraphy with representations of the female body, addresses the complex reality of Arab female identity from the unique perspective of personal experience. In much of her work, she returns to her Moroccan girlhood, looking back on it as an adult woman caught somewhere between past and present, and as an artist, exploring the language in which to “speak” from this uncertain space. Her paintings often appropriate Orientalist imagery from theWestern painting tradition, thereby inviting viewers to reconsider the Orientalist mythology. She has worked in numerous media, including painting, video, film, installation, and analog photography. [ Excerpt from the artist’s website ]

Sheree Hovsepian Sleight of Hand #76 2013 C print 39.8 x 29.9 in Edition 1 of 3 Courtesy of the artist and BISCHOFF/ WEISS
Estimate: $4,000 - $6,000 “These photographs are made in my studio where I use multiple exposures, within the camera, to make abstract forms. Between exposures, I move or shift the object being photographed. The studio is important conceptually to these works. I move in and out of the picture to manipulate the objects. In this way, I see these works as recording a performance within the studio. The wall and floor of the studio create a stage, or horizon line. I use studio experimentation as a vehicle to explore abstraction. This work takes on greater conceptual bearing when viewed in context of the “Decisive Moment” of photography. The phrase, coined by Henri Cartier Bresson, describes the precise instant that a photograph is captured. This way of thinking about the photographic image has been a guiding philosophy of modern photography. The Sleight of Hand series is made through a series of decisions. There is not one single moment, rather several over time, culminating in the finished photograph.” [ Artist statement on the Sleight of Hand Series]

Rashid Johnson The New Negro Escapist Social and Athletic Club (Butter Hold) 2011 Silver gelatin print 40 x 30 in Edition of 3 + 2 AP Courtesy of the artist and Hauser & Wirth Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000
Johnson’s series ‘The New Negro Escapist Social and Athletic Club’ (2008 - ongoing) revisits Johnson’s interest in portraiture within the setting of a fictional organisation modelled after African American secret society, Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, also known as the Boulé, the first Greek-letter fraternity to be founded by African American men. Images in the series capture a similar sentiment to the work of James Van Der Zee, who documented real sports teams, churches, schools, and clubs during the Harlem Renaissance. The character of ‘The New Negro Escapist Social and Athletic Club (Butter Hold)’ cradles a lump of shea butter, a material abundantly used in Johnson’s work that is much admired for its soothing and healing properties.

Dzamil Kamanger (born 1948 Kurdistan, Iran) is a visual artist living in Finland. Kamanger’s works combine traditional Central Asian craft skills with modern themes. He presents four beadworks made using a traditional Kurdish technique. As an Iranian Kurd, Kamanger is experienced in these things, because he arrived in Finland over 15 years ago as a political refugee. He has seen in practice the difference that travelling with different passports can make. [ Excerpt from the artist’s statement ]

Glenn Ligon Study for Negro Sunshine #119 2012 Oil stick, coal dust and gesso on paper 12 x 9 in Courtesy of the artist and Luhring Augustine Estimate: $20,000 - $30,000
Glenn Ligon is a New York based Conceptual artist. Taken from a 1909 novella by Gertrude Stein about a mixed-race woman, “negro sunshine” is the kind of ambiguous phrase that Ligon uses to speak of the history of African-Americans. Since the 1980s Ligon has been using phrases written or uttered by personalities such as Mary Shelley, James Baldwin and Malcolm X. These phrases are often oblique raising controversial or mysterious questions and leaving the viewer to work for the answers.

Julie Mehretu Untitled 2014 Watercolour on paper 16 ½ x 23 ¼ in Courtesy of the artist and Marian Goodman Gallery, New York Estimate: $40,000 - $60,000 Julie Mehretu makes large-scale, gestural paintings that are built up through layers of acrylic paint on canvas overlaid with mark-making using pencil, pen, ink and thick streams of paint. Mehretu’s work conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place and a collapse of art historical references, from the dynamism of the Italian Futurists and the geometric abstraction of Malevich to the enveloping scale of Abstract Expressionist colour field painting. In her highly worked canvases, Mehretu creates new narratives using abstracted images of cities, histories, wars and geographies with a frenetic mark making that for the artist becomes a way of signifying social agency as well as suggesting an unravelling of a personal biography. (Excerpt from the artist’s statement)

Carter Mull Talking With Objects 2013-14 Vibra and ultraviolet ink, acrylic and printed, perforated vinyl on chiffon, dispersion and acrylic on prepared muslin 64 x 44 x 1 Âź in Courtesy of the artist Estimate: $6,000 - $8,000
Carter Mull studies the construction of identity. He is particularly interested in the relationship of the individual with the community, including an analysis of how identity is constructed using the trademark and other cultural symbols. Strict codes of the world of fashion and consumerism, as well as their communication through image, are the central themes of Mull’s latest exhibition at the CAPC in Bordeaux. In redesigning the symbols of fashion and mass culture, he updates the social mechanisms and creates his own visual world. Garish colours, logos, typography and screenshots of online shops for hipsters are careful pictorial material of the artist, through which he questions the status and production of consumer goods and, hence, the art. [ Excerpt taken from a statement for We Tell Apple Stories in Order to Live, CAPC, Bordeaux ]

Steven Naifeh Saida XI: Hunter Green 2010 Acrylic on 60 canvases 87 x 87 in Courtesy of the artist and Leila Heller Gallery Estimate: $18,000 - $25,000 Born in Iran in 1952 to American diplomats, Steven Naifeh lives and works in Aiken, South Carolina. During his childhood – spent throughout the Middle East, including Iran, Iraq, Jordan, and the U.A.E. - Naifeh became enamored by the beauty of the geometric shapes and patterns that decorated everything from the textiles to the buildings of the Islamic world. Naifeh also became interested in the mathematical basis of these shapes, and has adapted those ancient formulas to modern purposes in conceiving his geometric, often large-scale works. Naifeh is perhaps best known as the co-author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Jackson Pollock: An American Saga (with Gregory White Smith). His most recent work, Van Gogh: The Life (also with Smith,) has been praised as “definitive” by the curator of Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and was named “Art Book of the Year” by The Times of London.

Shirin Neshat From the Passage series 2001 Gelatin silver print 22.5 x 18.8 in Courtesy of the artist Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000
“In Passage (2001), we find a more nuanced if also more mystical vision of women discreetly collaborating to achieve a common end. On screen we witness a ritualistic unity at work as the women move through a desert of obvious symbolic isolation whereby they are enabled to break free from the constraints imposed on them by men - however transiently and however isolated from Iranian society such outbreaks mark them. It matters little that the actions the segregated men and women performed in Neshat’s films and photographs are ritualistically ambiguous, prone to portentous signification and spectacle, or appear poetically obscure, even absurd (men marching herd-like through a desert; women forming a huddle on their knees to dig a hole in the desert with their bare hands as they become encircled by fire). The message that is central is the determination and solidarity forged in homosocialization -- in the desire (whether asexual or sexual) to enjoy the companionship and collective productivity of one’s own sex.” [ Excerpt from an article by G. Roger Denson, Huffington Post, 2010 ]
