The Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maryam Mohry (b. 1979 Tehran) takes advantage of the translucent quality of watercolor and staying away from applying thick layers of paint, she finds watercolor and gouache best for crafting impulsive and plausible stories.\u00a0 Since childhood, she has had the habit of making cut-outs from her children\u2019s books in order to make up her own versions of the story; a habit that she\u2019s kept in making sketches and etudes for her works ever since. Fueled by lighthearted naive sensibility and a sense of sarcasm, what stands out in Maryam Mohry\u2019s works on paper is the narrative quality of her drawings and her passion to fully immerse in the process of creation and experimentation. Also a talented sculptor, she keeps a sense of playfulness in both her drawings and soft sculptures, while addressing environmental concerns. By offering notes of cartoonish eeriness in the humanlike expressions of her characters, she keeps the \u201cgame\u201d of storytelling connected within all her works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
