The drama, theatricality, and emotional intensity of Baroque art continue to resonate in contemporary practice, as internationally acclaimed artist Reza Aramesh demonstrates in his work across photography, sculpture, video, and performance. Engaging critically with Western art history, Aramesh draws on these Baroque qualities while exploring narratives of race, class, and sexuality in the modern world.
In this talk, Aramesh will reflect on the idea of the “Baroque continuum,” examining how the techniques, staging, and symbolic power of Caravaggio and his contemporaries continue to influence artists today. Audiences will gain insight into the dialogue between historical art and contemporary creative expression, experiencing firsthand the enduring impact of the Baroque on modern artistic practice.
