What if a portrait did not tell a story? What if it refused to point toward a fixed meaning, a recognizable narrative, or a stable identity?
In Storyless, Anali Taherian presents a series of portraits that move beyond representation and the language of signs. Rather than depicting individuals defined by biography, social identity, or circumstance, these works engage the viewer through sensation, affect, and embodied experience. Faces dissolve, features shift, and familiar forms open into passages that lead beyond the surface of the image.
Dark eyes become openings. Mouths transform into fissures. Lines fragment and expand. Throughout the exhibition, the portrait is no longer a site of recognition but a space of encounter. Taherian's figures resist enclosure within the picture plane, reaching outward toward the viewer and establishing connections that operate beyond language, narrative, and conscious interpretation.
Rooted in processes of free association and emotional resonance, the works invite viewers to experience the paintings not as representations of particular people, but as expressions of a shared human condition. Here, bodies communicate through feeling rather than symbolism, creating moments of intimacy that emerge directly between the artwork and the viewer.
Rather than offering stories to be decoded, Storyless opens a space where sensation precedes meaning, and where new forms of connection can emerge through the act of looking.
Upcoming Exhibition
Whispers: Women, Animals and Chimeras - Gallery One
Elika Hedayat
September 26 – October 24, 2026
Aabee Bleue Project is pleased to present Whispers: Women, Animals and Chimeras, a solo exhibition by Elika Hedayat. The exhibition will be on view from September 26 through October 24, 2026, at Aabee Bleue Project in Los Angeles.
What if mythology could be retold through those who have remained at its margins? What if women, animals, and hybrid creatures became the protagonists of histories that have long centered heroes, kings, and conquerors?
In Whispers: Women, Animals and Chimeras, Elika Hedayat presents a new body of work that draws from Persian mythology, feminist thought, and speculative imagination. Moving between memory, history, and fiction, the exhibition revisits narratives from the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) through a contemporary lens, shifting attention toward figures that have often occupied secondary roles within traditional accounts.
Women, animals, and chimerical beings emerge throughout the exhibition as active agents rather than symbolic accessories. Their bodies transform, merge, and evolve, inhabiting spaces where the boundaries between human, animal, and mythical life become fluid. Through these shifting forms, Hedayat constructs alternative narratives that challenge established hierarchies and invite new ways of imagining relationships between power, identity, and the natural world.
Alongside these works, the exhibition includes paintings from Haroum, an ongoing series inspired by mythology as well as feminist and ecological science fiction. Drawing on literary references to Haroum, a legendary city governed by learned women living in harmony with their environment, Hedayat envisions an embryonic world in formation: a speculative landscape where coexistence, transformation, and collective imagination shape new possibilities for the future.
Blending historical references with contemporary realities, Hedayat's works move between documentary traces and dreamlike invention. Reality, memory, and imagination intertwine to create narratives that are at once deeply personal and broadly political, connecting ancient stories to present-day questions surrounding gender, ecology, and the social fabric of the region.
Rather than reconstructing the past, Whispers: Women, Animals and Chimeras opens a space where myth becomes a living language through which forgotten voices, alternative futures, and new forms of belonging can emerge.
