MARYAM AMIRYANI: DISCREET DEPRAVITIES

We're presenting "Discreet Depravities," an exhibition of paintings by Marfa-based artist,Maryam Amiryani from December 7th, 2012 through January 13th, 2013.

This new body of work consists of small paintings whose images have been derived from LP sleeves, paperbacks and other printed objects which have taken on a poignant sense of nostalgia in the shift to digital-everything.

The works in the show, such as this "cover" of Panda Bear's Person Pitch can be quite playful, but Amiryani's technique is no joke.

Most of the paintings reproduce the scale of the originals.  Here's Amiryani's diptych forSticky Fingers, seen from the side.
