Tehran Project:

Paintings that are called Tehran Project. In this series of work, the original news print is used as background, which usually is darkened by brush, and has no relevance to the visual narrative. The separated images, coming from my visual data base, are selected to interact with one another.

FRONT PAGE
Conceptual work named FRONT PAGE. Front page is the geometric abstraction of news by means of colour coding. The images are in the photo-realism style, painted in black and white. The intention is the fusion or synthesis of geometric art and realism. All the information is based on the actual front page of Herald Tribune. the paintings have precise date, traceable to the actual news paper. These paintings some time accompany a color decoder.

This collection is an intrinsic part of the Tehran Project and therefore represents the same characteristics: these works are prepared, composed, edited and printed in newspaper style on heavy paper. As the final touch, the artist paints the prints, making each work a unique piece.
