Artwork Description

'In his ceramics, their forms and norms have blended together and have reached that duality that is alive but at the same time not of our time. A combination of advanced elements of modern art and elements borrowed from all traditions of Persian art, from ancient artifacts to today's popular expressions, is indeed a characteristic of all of Tanavoli's works.'

(M. Sahabi, "Mysterious Duality", in S. B. Sherill (ed.), Works of Parviz Tanavoli, Ceramics, Parviz Tanavoli, Tehran 2010, p. 8.)
