Akram Rahmanzadeh
Akram was born in September 1962, Tehran, Iran. Having
studied art with several artists, she came to England in
February 1985. She studied Fine Art at Norwich School of Art,
Kent Institute of Art & Design (Canterbury) and she
finally completed her Master Degree in Fine Art, Printmaking
at Chelsea College of Art in London in 1993.
Since graduation, Akram has been working as
Artist-in-residence at Ashford School. Her works have gained
an audience, and have been exhibited widely.
Influences
The mundane, the day to day, people and their space, What
seems to be ordinary, the old woman walking down the street,
the child and his mother, the particular look on an aged face.
In short, the narrative of people is the source of inspiration
for Akram.
Akram in her Teaching series has taken up the subject of
schooling. The drama unfolds in the description she provides
for that of the teacher and that of the pupil.
