The streets of the city are constantly bustling with the pace of modern life, filled with movement, action, and circulation… It will calm only with the color and graph.
In this chaotic journey, it was vital for me to remain “Persian”, incorporating traditional Persian graphic forms, motifs, and flows. So, I wanted to blend traditional Persian signs and an art that is born of speed, street, and conflict of urban life, creating a creative contrast with the tranquillity of the Persian rhythm…..I wanted .

Seventy Something
This project has completed 5 steps so far and each time it has dealt with the visual works of a talented young Iranian artist born in 1990s and after, i.e., 1370s and after.
Shahriyaran Art & Research Gallery’s new project, called “Seventy Something” will feature artwork created by Iranian young visual artists born in the 70s decade (Solar Hijri calendar).
As a part of this art and research project, through the year, an exhibition will be held for one of these artists. For our objective, we ground our conceptual inquiry in the philosophy of mathematics, where the numbers and dimensions will be reevaluated and the positive scientific formulations will be doubted. From non-minimalistic approaches to the formalist reading of David Hilbert and Reuben Hersh’s views in humanistic mathematics, they all are playful pretexts to conceptualize the art of a generation who are playing with scientific, moralistic and social norms.
The main difference between this Iranian generation of artists to the other ones is exactly that they are not sticking to the conventions, choose, or consume them; they are playing with them. [The 70s are] the creatures that are always being pointed to their generation, birthdate and decade as their different truths, and everything ends with this referral to the numbers.
“Seventy Something” is dealing with the art of this generation; A generation who are playing with artistic norms more explicitly and freely.
Seventy Something will include studying the common characteristics of this generation of Iranian visual artists and their needs, and analyzing the position of this generation in contemporary art of Iran. This project will be continuous such as all other projects in ShaarGallery.
