Pouran
Jinchi
Jinchi is an Iranian born, New York based artist whose
work is best described as being a mixture of Near Eastern
calligraphy and abstract expressionism. Her art, with
its intricate patterning, complex markings and subtle
traceries, establishes a dialogue with the work of the
abstract expressionists. Conversely, both thematically
and formally, it is derived from the tremendous achievements
of Persian culture. Jinchi envisions her art as being
meditative and holistic in nature. Having been trained
in calligraphy, she finds the relation between words and
forms as essentially parallel. The literary origins of
her art reflects her strong feeling for poetry, affirming
her desire to find a vocabulary of forms that would best
express her understanding of lyricism. Ultimately, Jinchi
succeeds in exploring the achievement of her Persian heritage,
while simultaneously rendering it contemporary.
