Reza Aramesh: Action: By Number in Bloomington, MN

Decontextualized scenes of violence explore art historical notions of iconography and representation
Working across a wide range of materials, Reza Aramesh (born 1970) examines simultaneously the history of Western European art and contemporary commentary on the politics and history of global conflict zones, merging a unique visual language to address the contemporary conditions of violence and its precarious relation to mediation.
