Afarin Sajedi's 'Illusion' at Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome
The Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome is hosting 'Illusion', a solo exhibition by Iranian artist Afarin Sajedi (born 1979 in Shiraz). The show, on view until May 28, 2016, presents Sajedi's enigmatic women adorned with bizarre futuristic helmets and accompanied by fish, set against a pop surrealist backdrop. The works oscillate between intimate dreamscapes and ironic reality, with larger pieces conveying iconic, defiant poses while smaller works adopt a narrative approach. Sajedi, a graduate of the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Roma, previously completed a Master in Gallery Management and Cultural Event Organization in 2010. The exhibition is held at the gallery's Red Hall on Via dei Pettinari 76.
