Horror Vacui : Quand les artistes remplissent l'espace
From August 26, 2022 to October 1, 2022
Presentation
Born in Sari, in northern Iran, in 1963, Mehrdad Rashidi left his country at the age of twenty for political reasons and settled in Germany. He began to draw compulsively in 2006 on old notebooks, envelopes, receipts, advertising leaflets. In 2012, at a critically acclaimed exhibition dedicated to him in Düsseldorf, he spoke of his work as follows: “I was not interested in advice on how to work and I did not attempt to imitate no one. Everything I draw comes from me, from my own feelings. In my pictures, where you can find animals, human beings and all kinds of creatures, I feel happy and free. Love, men and women, and nostalgia are the most important topics for me. I can draw for hours, day after day. I have to take care of my two sons, so I draw whenever I can in my spare time. "
