Pouran Jinchi: Entropy | Opens November 17 at LTMH Gallery

Pouran Jinchi: Entropy

November 17 – December 21, 2010

At Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller (LTMH) Gallery

Opening Reception: Wednesday, November 17, 6-8 p.m.An exhibition of 12 new paintings by Pouran Jinchi that explore chaos and disorder will be on view at Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller (LTMH) Gallery from November 17 through December 21, 2010. The work, from Jinchi’sEntropy series, is composed of intricate layers of calligraphic forms and markings, which develop organically on the canvas. A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.

Born in Iran, New York-based Jinchi employs the use of language to deconstruct Persian script to its most basic elements on her canvas. A true reading is rendered impossible, and the viewer is left with forms moving in space. The forms can be seen as tools depicting the idea of language and letters that transcend their implied meaning.

As art historian Media Farzin writes in the catalogue essay, “Pouran Jinchi’s paintings are covered with swarms of Persian letters. The surfaces pulse with movement. Their visual impact is undeniable. But they are not easy to decipher—even for Persian-speakers, even for those familiar with the poetry she copies, which she prefers not to reveal; even for those versed in calligraphic conventions, which she subtly transforms. Are they to be read or to be looked at? Are they abstractions, semi-abstractions, landscapes, whirlpools, cosmic floating bits? They gleefully disperse.”

Pouran Jinchi studied painting at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1989, followed by studio painting at the Art Students League in New York in 1993. She has exhibited extensively with shows in New York, Japan, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates, and is featured in public collections including the Federal Reserve Bank, New York; The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; and the Brooklyn Museum, New York. Work by Pouran Jinchi was recently seen in New York at the Brooklyn Museum’s exhibition Light of the Sufis: The Mystical Arts of Islam; Tarjama/Translation at the Queens Museum of Art; and Iran Inside Out at the Chelsea Art Museum.

Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller (LTMH) Gallery is located at 39 East 78th Street at Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10075, 212.249.7695, www.ltmhgallery.com. For further information, please contact Anahita Varzi atanahita@ltmhgallery.com.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
