Supported through funding from a recent Artadia award, Amir H. Fallah debuts a new series of life-sized sculptures that are hand painted on cut-aluminum. The works continue the artist’s interrogation of systems of portraiture. Combining and flattening his sitter’s anatomical structure with personal and culturally significant objects and intricate patterns, these sculptures offer a representation devoid of signifiers of ethnicity, gender, or class. Fallah’s new sculptures utilize the personal history of his subjects as an entry point to discuss race, representation, and the memories of cultures and countries left behind.
This sculpture is currently at Vancouver's Center of International Contemporary Art for Fallah's solo exhibition "An Anthem for Uncertain Times," which will have an accompanying catalogue.
