Unique Work
Installation
Barrangi’s work is inspired by his heritage, Iranian mythological stories and contemporary events of social upheaval. His works combine elements of Persian calligraphy, old scientific illustration, storytelling, text, and humour. Using a creative process involving drawing and printing on handmade paper and using traditional calligraphy pens and mark-marking styles, he creates works which are often developed into large-scale murals. Barrangi’s work centres on experiences of travel, journeys and his lived experience with immigration and disability. His works often contain images of animals such as birds, reptiles and mythical creatures to talk about migration, freedom, companionship, and different experiences of this world. Reflecting his own experience as an artist with a disability, his works often represent characters with limb difference, lost arms and legs, or other disabilities, as well as images of women that he admires such as family members and friends, or exiled Iranian queens.
