Katayoun
Rouhi
Born
in
Iran
on
December
1965
From
the
Artist’s
eye
The
pictoriality
of
painting
and
the
orality
of
poetry
come
across
one
another
in
her
work
and
resonate
together.
It
is
concerned
with
the
poesies
of
painting,
its
very
beginning,
and
searches
for
the
essential
link
between
poetry
and
representation.
She
says
that
She
paints
poems.
They
tell
her
about
her
painting
and
present
in a
graphic
way
what
her
painting
attempts
to
reveal
through
visual
signs.
She
makes
out
a
singular
being
in
her
paintings.
This
singularity
is
achieved
through
her
memory
in a
kind
of
game
where
the
image
gradually
appears.
It
comes
into
existence
by
the
way
it
is
made.
She
Graduated
from
Ecole
des
Beaux-Arts
of
Paris,
peinting
section
and
got
her
Doctorate
in
Aesthetics
and
Sciences
of
Art,
Paris
I,
Panthéon-sorbonne
Katayoun says:
If
the
viewer
could
see,
beyond
the
outward
patterns,
another
one
from
his
inner
self,
to
take
him
not
to
other
seasons
and
gardens
here
and
there,
but
to
another
season
and
the
garden
trees
of
his
unknown
inner
self,
I
would
then
say
to
myself
that
I
have
reached
my
goal
,
that
these
trees
have
been
the
seasons
of
my
passage
through
my
own
inner
self
and
therefore
portray
“ a
garden
beyond”.
