POURAN JINCHI
FLY LIKE DANDELIONS
-
The Third Line is pleased to announce our fifth solo exhibitions with Pouran Jinchi. Jinchi was inspired to embark on this new body of work, Fly Like Dandelions, after reading an article titled Great Climate Migration in the New York Times. The article tells the story of Jorge A., a Guatemalan farmer forced to flee due to climate change's impact on agriculture. Jinchi's inspiration for this series stems from landscapes affected by climate change, such as ghost forests and arid lands.

"Jinchi describes this combination of traditional calligraphy techniques and abstraction as creating canvases that are “somewhere between perception and reality, truth and meaning”"
Jinchi’s paintings are compositions of fragmented calligraphic strokes that create abstract shapes and markings. This approach was inspired by Jinchi’s formal training in traditional Persian calligraphy in Iran, where she lived as a child and teenager. Later, when developing her painting practice – an organic process taken without formal training – Jinchi returned to calligraphy as the starting point of inspiration. She has continued to approach each painting from the starting point of calligraphic script, creating a unique marriage between the concept of each series, and form. Jinchi describes this combination of traditional calligraphy techniques and abstraction as creating canvases that are “somewhere between perception and reality, truth and meaning”[1]. In this relationship between form and concept, the compositions of miniature creatures seem to represent groups or masses, evoking the movement of displaced humans or animals as they cross the canvas, suggesting their transition between territories or continents.
