La suprême conscience de l'être

Saint-Ouen From December 1, 2019 to December 9, 2019

The Maryam Ahi Gallery is hosting these days the work of Arash Nazari, his first personal exhibition of large format sheet metal prints. He provided simple Qajar figures on the surface of a steel mirror. Some of these figures have no facial features and in others they have animal faces instead of human faces. In some works, the characters are also black and tall, but there are luxurious Qajar clothes in all the figures.

Headless figures, handmade daggers and others bearing the famous cane of Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, the theory has reached a new space with the use of printing technology and strange distortions. Mirrors, or perhaps the most polished surfaces, reflect the public's image of the work, and therefore the audience and the space in which these works are integrated into the artwork.With the change of space, the effect and mood of the work are changed again. For many years, the use of Zand and Qajar paintings has become the subject of many young painters and artisans have many excuses to use them. Many of these artists use these visual sources to claim the Eastern identity, and many seek to find common ground with this period to criticize the existing social situation by referring to these historical images.

Arash Nazari also used figurines with details from that time, but the main difference between his work and other similar works is that he did not paint these characters and he imagined a new material using a new material.Arash also did not fear being considered a decorative work because he photographed in the catalog of his exhibition while sitting in the living room. His works were placed next to sofas and windows as well as mirrored backgrounds.

These works fuelled this decorative aspect, because if these paintings were on canvas, they would not have worked. The theoretical approach of Arash would show us a new type of decorative work, his works in a traditional, fashionable way, which is to look at words. Unsophisticated from a philosophical point of view, his art is in keeping with the standards of contemporary art and the tastes of the market. M is consistent.
