Description

Khosrow HASSANZADEH (1963-2023). Terrorist Rayhan - circa 2004. Diptych, two mixed media, silkscreen on canvas. 250 x 188 cm. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist. Note: Terrorism is a critical phase in Khosrow Hassanzadeh's artistic career. The process of self-transformation has brought him and his relationship with the world full circle. He no longer looks at his own society in a strictly incriminating way (War, Prostitutes), nor in search of signs of culture and identity (Chador, Pahlavan). Terrorism is a demand for the right to self-representation and a declaration of independence. It fails on both counts: "self-representation" here is an appropriation of Western values, and the work can only become "independent" if the viewer targeted by the artist is Western. This radical failure makes the artist unique on the non-Western art scene.
