Anything is Possible
21 January - 27 March. See website for price details. Gallery 1, Edinburgh Printmakers, Castle Mills 1 Dundee Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9FP
Anything is Possible is the first Scottish solo exhibition from Iranian artist Mohammad Barrangi. The exhibition welcomes visitors to experience some of Barrangi’s fantastical world inspired by ancient Persian storytelling. Born without the use of his left arm, Barrangi works on the floor, using his feet to steady his pieces while he is cutting or printing and many of his pieces reflect his own experience as an artist with a disability.
