There is thirst in the flowing waters in these works. With these two series, Fereydoun Ave is returning to the primordial elements - fire, water, air, earth - a subject that he has come back to often in his works. It is a way for the artist to evaluate his relationship with the world he currently lives in. Fereydoun Ave (b. 1945, Tehran, Iran) has been an inextricable part of the Iranian art scene for the past 5 decades. His work is characterized by experimentations with different media to grapple with urgent subjective preoccupations. His artworks have been featured in many solo exhibitions along with hundreds of group shows in galleries and museums around the world. Other than many notable private collectors, Ave's works have been acquired by prestigious art institutions.
