Femme vie liberté égalité fraternité
"A Mahsâ Amini Pavilion brought together an organizing committee to support in the West and in the rest of the world the cultural and intellectual visibility of the Iranian people who love freedom and emancipation.
Placed under the patronage of Mina Kavani and Hanieh Delecroix, the Mahsâ Amini pavilion translates into action what the world of culture in France wants to express in support of creators and, through them, of young people and more generally of the peoples of Iran."

Pavillon du futur Iran - Petit Paradis
3 - 24 July 2023
At the street corner
This video is the preparation for the performance made at the Palais de Tokyo on February 16, 2023 in support of Iranian women and men.
To encourage each other to continue fighting for their freedom, Iranian youth meet in the street and check each other.
In their fist is hidden a word and a candy.
The futur of tradition
The exhibition is collaboratively produced by guest curated by Rose Issa and Bob Annibale and explores three generations of artists, from Iran and the Arab world, from the early pioneers of a vernacular ‘Lettrism’ movement to those incorporating the written word in their works today. These artists, from different background and styles, take inspiration from their own culture and combine those influences with international aesthetics and concepts. The result is the creation of an alternative and original approach to modernism and contemporary art.
The exhibition adds more artists from the younger generation—artists whose concerns, whether conceptual, socio-political, or simply aesthetic, have found their own modes of expression, thus contributing to world art.

Femme, vie, liberté, égalité, fraternité
If the Iranians will never forget this name, I would like the non-Iranian people to never forget either. I appeal to universities and cultural institutions to support the Iranian people.
It seems important to me that this installation finds a place within cultural and university institutions, this is a strong message to tell Iranians that they are supported.
The Palais de Tokyo, ENSAD, the faculty of Nanterre, La Sorbonne, the Lambert Collection, Sciences Po Paris, the Monnaie de Paris as part of AsiaNow, the Frac Corsica, the Laure Roynette gallery, the INHA, the palace de la Porte Dorée, La Cité des Sciences and Soas University in London have accepted and welcomed my installation.

“Upon entering the Villa Turquoise, you are immediately surprised by a huge 20-meter canvas whose paper is only 9 milligrams thick. A simple gust of wind can tear it apart. It's to prove that from our fragility comes our strength.”

"Although Hanieh Delecroix no longer works as a psychologist, she still is one. Henceforth her practice takes shapes which can be interpreted in the most different ways, both literally and figuratively, with an obvious or hidden meaning. From this Monday onwards, the artist with Iranian roots will settle down at Belle Hortense’s. During the private view, which begins at 7pm, she’ll also sign her book “Mon petit papa fait des cauchemars” [“My daddy has nightmares”], published by Actes Sud, a book for children that also gives parents food for thought..."

Pulse - 2018
Hanieh Delecroix’s artistic practice is strongly shaped by her professional experience as psychologist and psychoanalyst.
In her artistic works psychoanalysis, writing and painting coalesce
in a fascinating way. It is specifically this symbiosis that creates mesmerizing images, which the artist produces in different media, such as drawing, text, photography, installation, and video.
Hanieh Delecroix often chooses the fragile material of paper for her works. The specific materiality of paper emerges in its own characteristics —now and then crumpled, torn, transparent, or translucent. Paper is fragile, but can also be a dense
and tough material.
Through these characteristics the paper eventually adopts the function of human skin. Our skin reflects the soul and tells of the wrinkles, injuries, scars, and traces, which life and experiences have left on our bodies.
Le principe de plaisir - 2018
What is the pleasure principle?
To regulate the quantity of excitations this is what Freud calls the pleasure principle.
Freud's discovers that the psychic may be unable
to regulate excitations and observed that some symptoms are repeated. To repeat the same colors, to repeat a gesture, to repeat words on same but on different papers this is the signature
of Hanieh Delecroix, a psychologist and
an contemporary artist.
Her work symbolizes several psychoanalysis theories and we are thrilled to show her work
at Nanterre University.

Tenderness - 2016
"Far from the trends of the moment, Hanieh Delecroix has never stoped to create and give a shape to joy and tenderness.
She creates series of painting with an incredible magnetism.
Her work is delicate, based on paper with acrylic. The words and writing are omnipresent, in two languages: French and Persian"

Femmes Fondatrices
Invited by Institut du Monde Arabe for a talk about "Femmes fondatrices" - "Founding Women"
A panel of discution about Women between motherhood, children and profession.
The mastery of life, freedom and the family: in search of a balance.
Du point à la ligne - 2016
In this process of creation, artists trace the path of a new vision.
This is a sign of a break or a renewal. This is not just an excecution, but traces of memories resulting from the passion,
the emotion experienced at each stage of the creative process.

Panser Joyce à mi-maux - 2015
Throught Joyce Mansour's poems the matter of creativity was ridden in a psychoanalysis way. But behind the words of the poet, Hanieh Delecroix became interested in the matter of loss. The loss of the homeland that you can surreptitiously feel through the writings of Joyce. Mourning for a country, writing to survive refers the artist to the story of her father. A father who had to leave his country and lost his homeland. Then writing became necessary to survive.
At Beirut Art Fair, Golestan gallery, Iran, Teheran
From September 17 till September 20, Beirut, Lebanon, 2015.
Syntone - 2015
Hanieh Delecroix took an interest in Joyce Mansour's poems because the matter of creation and destruction is central in her work. This led her to ask herself about the notion of image of the body limits and to elaborate around the Covering (the skin)
and Penetration (fragility of the attacked skin)

With Laurent Derobert, Sylvia Santana, Ardavan Tabatabai and Tara Vergnet.
Texte Islamic Art Magazine.
Into the blue - 2014
Hanieh Delecroix favours translucent paper, chosen for its fragility and its symbolic, skin-like quality.
“A crack in the paint or a tear in the paper
become like a scar.”
"The recent works of the artist take a different dimension. The paper as a medium gains in strength. Crumpled, folded, sewn, opaque or translucent, the paper becomes skin. Fragile, light, delicate and torn to pieces, the artistique expression is generous and feminine. Beyond its simple appearance of holder, paper became matter, scars, tears and wrinkles."
Corse-matin newspaper, August 2014.
Solo show at Galerie Marie Ricco,
Aout-Septembre 2014, Calvi, Corse, France
Lifeline - 2013-2014
"White waves of words that render light and texture to the harmonious shades of blue, perfectly complementing the composition. The result is "Lifeline" a collection of paintings that represent the human psyche and the body's silhouette, and evoke a powerful emotio,al response".

Toi-Peau - 2012
"Toi-Peau" ("You-Skin") is a title freely inspired by the psychoanalytic theory of "Moi-Peau" ("Me-Skin") by Didier Anzieu who awards major importance to the skin as the envelope of the body.
The continuity is linked in writings or prints on paper, fragile support, marked by a graphic gesture, like scars on an injured body.
This work is the result of the development between these two worlds in resonance:
the psyche, its bodily line and artistic writing.
Solo show Galerie Afaprod, Paris. June 2012.
