Rendered with the vibrant and expressionistic brushstrokes that Amir Hossein Zanjani is renowned for, the works in this exhibition revolve around the idea of the submission to power. Depicted within Zanjani’s canvases are mass parades of individuals mobilized by the military; loyal soldiers marching in unison to the commands of an authoritarian officer and bizarrely semi-nude figures of soldiers gathered together in blind obedience – all representations of human conflict and submission to a greater power. The show also presents a specially-commissioned installation consisting of 700 pieces depicting the faces of soldiers from all over the world.
