Happies: A Solo Exhibition at O Gallery by Maryam Sabbaghpour
Sabbaghpour illustrates fear and anxiety, rooted in our everyday routine. The collection on display, from August 5 – 16, 2022, depicts a rather new concern of the artist; the concept of time. Envisioning her paintings as time machines, she anticipates the future and interprets what’s gone. The artist challenges the viewer’s mind by raising questions, avoiding result-oriented thinking. With paradox being the main pivot of her works, she uses it as a means to criticize the human evolutional process through time and defines this explicit contradiction as a reason to raise doubt, question and conversion.
