About the Artist
Reza Aramesh is an Iranian-British artist whose compelling practice spans performance, photography, sculpture, and video. His conceptually rigorous work often re-stages and re-contextualizes photographic imagery sourced from news media, particularly those depicting individuals in moments of capture, conflict, or vulnerability. Aramesh transforms these fleeting, often anonymous, moments into highly stylized, almost classical, compositions, drawing parallels to art historical depictions of martyrdom or heroism. His art profoundly explores themes of power dynamics, sexuality, and the politics of representation, inviting viewers to critically examine how violence and identity are consumed and constructed in the media.
