Farideh: From Landscape – Oil Paintings, Early and Recent

Farideh Golbahar’s work, presented in her comprehensive solo exhibition at the Jerusalem Artists’ House, unfolds as constant movement, both spiritual and material, to and from one and the same vision. In her paintings, she revisits the same garden, which is always different: an imaginary garden, a garden of memories, a garden that results from the work of art, made of the rhythm of brushstrokes, colors and hues that come together in an encounter of nuances; blankets of forms evolving as endless depth within a space of proclaimed flattening. The nature dominating her work does not stem from observation, but rather from introversion. Farideh’s path, constantly shifting between figuration and abstraction, the ornament and the abstract, relating to the local landscape and at the same time drawing away from it, has signified her work as quintessentially individualistic.
