Paper Feed
2014
Tala Madani's "Paper Feed" from 2014 presents a characteristic example of the Iranian-American artist's sardonic visual language, rendered here through the precise layering of a seven colour screen print. Known for her painted explorations of masculinity, power, and bodily absurdity, Madani translates her thematic preoccupations into the graphic medium with striking economy. The composition distils her recurring cast of anonymous, often infantilised male figures into a format that rewards close inspection, where each colour separation reveals the deliberate craft underlying what might first appear to be deceptively simple imagery. Produced as a limited edition of 50 and signed by the artist, this work carries both the intimacy of a collectible multiple and the full weight of Madani's established artistic vision. At 42 by 30 centimetres, the scale is intimate without being slight, and the format suits the controlled density of screen printing, a medium that complements her interest in flat planes of colour and heightened graphic tension. The edition's restricted size and the artist's growing international profile make this a particularly considered acquisition opportunity. Currently on offer through Nottingham Contemporary, the work is available unframed, giving collectors flexibility in presentation. Prospective buyers should note that the listed price does not include VAT.
