Represented by Sareban Gallery
Kiyomars Kiasat is an Iranian artist, born in 1948. Kiasat began working in intellectual media at the same time as Ferdowsi, Negin and Ketab-e Jome as a drawer and cartoonist since 1973. Kiasat has continued painting and drawing ever since.
Inevitably influenced by the superfluous images appearing on social media and the consumption of information, Chara Kontopoulou creates abstract paintings on large scale canvases, aiming to interact with the viewer and turn his passive vision into an exploring tool of experience.
As the paintings consist of alternate layers of resin and countless painting strokes, the overall artwork creates the illusion of a 3D painting. Due to the nature of the medium, the outcome is a shiny and reflective surface, the aim of which is to mirror the viewer and make them part of the artwork.
As an emerging artist, Chara participated in group exhibitions in the United Kingdom, Greece and Cyprus. She also volunteers in museums and charities and organizes creative workshops with the purpose to engage people with arts. She currently lives and works in Manchester, UK.
