Multimedia Installation, Video, Sound, Embroidery, Painting

Nargis artistic practice encompasses conceptual installations, which include sound, mixed media, embroidery, geometrical metal structures, but also painting, drawing and tapestry– all connected by one single desire – to see the nature of things and to uncover the truth behind a phenomena. On this quest she explores subjects that seem unrelated at first sight and discovers links between concepts that bring her closer to their hidden nature. Whether abstract, figurative or ornamental, she starts with visible lines and enters hidden realms. In her large scale, heavily layered abstractions, flowing lines of saturated colors give birth to rough forms. In successive series, going from large scale to small, from combinations to single colors, she explores the emotional connection between the work and the viewer as well as the viewer’s perception influenced by the artwork. Going from object to space, from color to texture, from obvious to invisible her works transmit meanings that have no known coded alphabet. The strength of her work stems from the drive to express emotions and their meaning that cannot be pinned down into words. Nargis’ works succeed where language fails.
