Tirdad Hashemi
Tirdad Hashemi was born in 1991 in Teheran, Iran. They live and work between Paris, Teheran and Berlin.
Whether on paper or canvas, often in small formats and depending on the means at hand, people agitate, congregate and break out. Sometimes they seem to free themselves from all constraints and conventions, and sometimes they suffocate on our rules of decorum, finally vomiting all over our well-meaning societies.
In their own words, the artist may not be “an activist that dwells in the streets, but an activist with the lifestyle [they have] chosen”. Hashemi will never feel free from their home country, Iran, but somehow, they will remain a foreigner, a stranger wherever they go. Art is their only necessity, their true home. The only place they can express fully. The only place where they can be at the same time themselves and others, because in this space, everything is still possible.
“Painting, in my working process, always starts from a story and continues like a dream. Everything is always possible in sleep.” Tirdad Hashemi
