Osmosis - 2019
Shahla Dadsetan conceives her pictorial practice as a way of thinking about the flows that animate the visible in order to translate the sensitive dimension of the universe. Through this theme, she inscribes her work in a history of abstraction.
The recent paintings are as much an evocation of these vital flows. The elements that compose them roll up on themselves and unfold in a labyrinthine form. This material in gestation and in constant mutation seems to move carried away by lines and light waves. The pictorial space is presented as a complex network of intersections where everything connects and generates itself. A space of propagations and intertwining, of rhythmic waves reminiscent of the one that Chinese cosmology refers to as the TAO.
Through the harmony of variations and shades of nuance, between opacity and transparency, this space vibrates, creating an effect of infinity and movement. The scope and energy of the gesture animates the colour by structuring the composition.
The colours for Yves Klein are "living beings (...), the true inhabitants of space". Similarly, Shahla Dadsetan's colours are intended to make visible the circulation of vital flows, their passage from one state to another and the realization of their symbiosis within this cosmological radiation.
Here painting tends towards the exploration of the relationships that unite each individual to space and the universe. It invites us to think of a dimension that comes from the depths of time, a temporal space without beginning or end that plunges us into the immensity of a mystery.
