The Print Sales Gallery presents three bodies of work rooted in landscape photography.

Reimagined Landscapes brings together the works of Gohar Dashti & Hamed Noori, Cyrus Mahboubian, and Qiu Yangzi to explore themes of cultural identity, home and displacement. 

Gohar Dashti’s (b. 1980, Iran) practice is centred around an attentiveness to the natural world. Her latest series, Transformed Landscape is made in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Hamed Noori (b. 1979, Iran). Together they merge landscapes from their current home in the United States with those from their homeland, Iran. Using geometric patterns rooted in Islamic art, the collages draw on universal values and patterns found in nature. These surreal compositions reflect nature’s borderlessness and the two artists’ personal journeys between two cultures. In her 2022 series, Disappearing Nature, Dashti deliberately mars bucolic Polaroid photographs. Her burning and peeling of these beautiful landscapes mirrors the precarious situation of our planet.
