“Next one!”, 2016.

A drawing by Vida Dena.

Medium: ballpoint pen on paper 
Size : 29.7 x 42 cm.

Bio:

Born in Tehran in 1984, Vida Dena is an Iranian artist and filmmaker who is living and working in Brussels since 2011.

She works with different mediums (painting, drawing, video, film) around themes such as immigration, censorship, dual identity and human rights.

This drawing is taken from her solo exhibition “My childhood rituals”. Like that of many children, the childhood of Vida Dena has been recorded in photographs. For this set of drawings, Vida Dena started from family photos of her childhood, especially those pictures that ‘fell off the table’ and those that ended up in the shoe box, adding them some magical Persian realism.

In these ballpoint pen drawings, the artist is interfering in the actual photos by using her imagination. She chose these photos purposely because they have a strange, somewhat abnormal essence, a kind of magical reality that gives more
power to the imaginary parts of the works. “Rituals” then is a tricky name she gives to this project to make us believe that these rituals are actually happening in reality in Iran’s exotic culture, which in fact is just a touch of humor by the artist coming from the Middle East who is often perceived as an exotic person.

Practical aspects:

  • The work is delivered with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
  • It is sent in a specially adapted package to protect it.
  • It is delivered without frame.
  • It may take 1 to 3 weeks for this artwork to reach you by post. Quicker personal delivery possible in Brussels.
