From NY Art Beat:
"...Childhood recollections of the Iran-Iraq War and a later fascination with the history of Middle Eastern conspiracies and conflicts informed the artist's first mature body of work, exhibited here in the fall of 2008 in the artist's first solo show. The individual subjects of Banisadr's new paintings are determined through a dialectical process that he describes as "a negotiation between myself and the work." Using a conventional landscape trope, he attempts to create a "personal, symbolic, and hallucinatory space," where the viewer might join him in challenging entrenched beliefs and moribund social structures..."
