Mehran
Saber
By
The
Water
Paintings
of
Mehran
Saber
appear
to
be
reactions
to
an
apparently
meaningless
world,
not
controlled
by
humans,
and
influenced
and
even
menaced
by
an
invisible
outside
force.
Shapes
that
are
stretched,
distorted
and
caught
in
suspended
situations
as
if
they
are
forced
to
do
repetitive
and
meaningless
actions.
In
his
works,
reality
is
dismissed
and
even
Surrealism
is
distorted.
Hybrid
creatures,
often
twisted
and
pressured,
push
and
pull,
apparently
in a
vicious
circle
and
this
time
around
water.
Artist
portrays
the
realm
of
unconsciousness
and
points
to
its
indecipherable
and
vast
expanse.
A
world
devoid
of
every
day
restrains
and
limitations.
Forms
appear
to
be
liquefied
to
transport
the
viewer
to
the
limits
of
absurdity,
completely
out
of
tune
and
at
the
same
time
believable.
The
fabulous
color
palette
is
wild
and
exuberant,
attracting
the
viewers
at
first
glance
and
then
challenging
them
into
submission
to
observe
the
beauty
and
harmony
of
colors,
while
proving
to
them
that
the
paintings
are
truly
marvelous
as
well
as
wonderfully
beautiful.
