Renowned Iranian-German visual artist, Shirana Shahbazi is known for her contemporary language that fuses photography, installation and craft techniques. Her work explores perception, color and materiality, establishing dialogues between the traditional and the modern. Shahbazi has exhibited in museums and international biennials, consolidating his place in contemporary art for his sophisticated and poetic approach to the image.
Within his recent practice, his ceramic frames stand out, pieces that transcend their decorative function to become autonomous works. Each frame is created from a delicate artisanal process, where the artist combines glossy glazes, subtle textures and forms that refer to both Islamic geometry and contemporary abstraction. These pieces reflect her interest in questioning the boundaries between the support and the work, the container and the content.
By integrating his ceramic frames into the space, Shahbazi invites the viewer to reconsider the act of framing, endowing it with an almost sculptural meaning. Thus, his frames not only accompany the image, but become the protagonists of a unique aesthetic experience.
