New Dress (2025) by Ramina Saadatkhan unites collage and painting elements to create a bold dynamic work. Ferns and palms are depicted round the edge of the work as a combination of different patterns are used to create a layered, textual background. A sinuous pink and black line curves like a river horizontally across the top of the canvas and over a blue collaged section - suggestive of a figure and reminiscent of Matisse’s Icarus. On the left we see a small angel, denoted as ‘TURAN’ in capital letters beneath. The rendering of this figure differs from Saadatkhan’s typical treatment - this one is shown front on rather than in profile, with outstretched wings, stylised breasts and simplified facial features, it is a likely reference to an ancient Persian myth.
