Publisher's Synopsis
In her 50-year career, Maliheh Afnan has won a following for her abstract, seemingly stream of consciousness images, composed of scratched or meandering lines, glyphs and imagined scripts. Here she presents a parallel body of work - a range of drawings and sketches that are even more minimally composed; portraits in which a mere squiggle or smudge can be so expressive that it evokes an emotional response.
