Tehran,
No. 5, 13th St., Sanaee St., Karimkhan Zand St.
8 November - 20 November 2024
Dynamic and unsettled, shaking and playful.
Joyful and cheerful,
or sorrowful and bewildered.
The result of the interplay between the mind and the hands of the artist is aimed at:
Creating a space that moves away from the conventional stillness of exhibitions towards movement, dynamism, and interaction with the audience.
In Without Quiescence,
We witness the playful mind of the artist becoming a playmate in a world of color, play, and movement. Sometimes, this play is drawn from a childlike, humorous, and joyful realm,
and at other times, it enters another room in the artist’s mental house,
mingling with the more serious and undeniable concerns of today’s world.
This creates works that may not only lack traces of childhood joy,
but also reflect the reality, gravity, and chaos of modern life.
Considering the statement of this exhibition:
Do not look at the garment I have become. I whirl and dance, bound to my essence. I move with strap, bond, and bone.If in your view, my soul is like stone.
We encounter
a dialogue—or even a flirtation—between the artwork and the audience.
Do not look at my seemingly dry and lifeless form.
I can move, I can sing, I can dance, and I can even accompany you.
Not only with what my eyes see, but also
I can be with your mind, thoughts, and feelings, traveling alongside your concerns, loneliness, and fears.
I am not lifeless or still.
I am
Without Quiescence.
