<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Ali Banisadr's first major monograph delves into the Iranian painter's influences and practice.</b> <p/>Preeminent Iranian-American artist Ali Banisadr's canvases depict a complex swirl of action and abstracted figuration across a stagelike picture plane. Varied histories inform these paintings, ranging from the artist's synesthesia, to Persian miniatures, to the multi-figure works of Brueghel and Bosch, and the gestural imaginations of Willem de Kooning and Max Ernst. <p/>Born in Tehran in 1976, Ali Banisadr grew up during the Islamic revolution and the eight-year Iran-Iraq War. In 1988, he and his family emigrated to Turkey and then to California. In 2000, he moved to New York City where he currently lives and works.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Negar Azimi</b> is a writer and the senior editor of <i>Bidoun</i>.
