The undertow is invisible yet powerful. Beneath the deceptive still of the ocean’s surface, the undertow lurks there, its currents coursing, threatening to yank any creature tempted to take a refreshing dip. In their current solo exhibition at Deborah Schamoni, Maryam Hoseini explores the numerous unseen forces that, like the undertow, obstinately tug on us. Within their paintings, the body is never fixed or given, but instead is continually constituted and reconstituted as it resists and yields to the energies of the external world.

Die Unterströmung ist unsichtbar und zugleich von erheblicher Gewalt. Unter der trügerischen Ruhe der Meeresoberfläche zirkuliert sie unablässig und droht alles mit sich zu ziehen, was sich ihr nähert.
