- Title
Ali Banisadr: These Specks of Dust.
- Authors
Holmes, Jessica
- Abstract
Nearly all the works at Kasmin were made over the past year, when Banisadr, like most of us, was living under lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In taking bits from across time and genre and processing them through his own synesthetic technique, Banisadr ultimately shucks convention, rendering paintings that are entirely new. An array of ghostly figures whorl across the two-paneled work (Banisadr's first diptych in six years), befogged presences that nonetheless orchestrate a brisk, definitive energy that anchors the painting.
