Madjid Asgari

Is it possible to define art through the great masters? Have the names, reputations and the fame of those, who have filled the books on the history of art, in fact formed our conception of what we call art? And yet, don’t we all appreciate those figures, illustrated on Majid Asgari’s art works, one by one and via the world they have opened up in front of our eyes?

Nonetheless, what Majid Asgari has done in his new exhibition is not merely reflecting the faces of some of the great masters of the art history. What he does, at the very same time, is the result of the laborious and painstaking construction, which is only possible through a lot of precision and attention to the details. Thus, what he does, is implicitly a reminder of all the grave and difficult path, achieved through an agonizing and hard work, that we name art.

The exhibition “Art” is an attempt to remind us of all those names and faces and how arduously they have filled the pages of the history of art and how meticulously and detailed-orientedly they have put the pieces of the art history back together.
