crossfire of daily life

Ausstellung 06. - 30.11.2018

Take advantage of this TOP opportunity!

Being human means being conscious and responsible.

Dr. Viktor Frankl | Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist (1905-1997)

In November 2018, BURN-IN shows five young Iranian artists who confidently and fearlessly process their own personal, explosive experiences in their art and thus provide us with meaningful, thought-provoking, statements.

The themes of hope for peace, dependencies, addictions, autonomy, knowledge of the dark side and its positive handling and transfer to the international public, accompany the work of the artists who currently live in Iran, Canada and Norway.

The exhibition was shown in September 2018 at the S9 Gallery in Oslo (Norway) and was highly successful.

Leila Fathi

Leila Fathi (born 1978) is an Iranian artist living in Vancouver. Since childhood she has been influenced by art. She comes from a well-known family of artists and became a very early member of the Institute for the intellectual development of children and young adults. She holds a master's degree in illustration (Azad University for Art and Architecture | 2006) and also studied painting with Professor Karim Naser (2001-2009). Fathi's exhibitions took her to Tehran, Dubai, Toronto, Beirut and Oslo.

Social empathy forms the basis of her work. The constant interaction with current events (personal environment and society) are driving her work.

The current project: thoughtless being. She believes in a better future, in the extension of peace in culture and art, and in the eradication of stupidity. The rhino and its extinction become the symbol for it.
