Bottle

time”
a
solo
exhibition
by Hamidreza
Andarz.
This
exhibition
displays
the
most
recent

and
oil
paintings
of Hamidreza
Andraz.
Along
with
the
exhibition,
shirin
gallery
launches
the

O
Tarh.
Hamidreza
Andarz,
born
in
Tehran,
Iran
1970,
has
a BA
in
painting
from
Azad
University
Tehran.
He
has
held
numerous
solo
and
group
exhibitions
both
locally
and
internationally
and
has
been
showcased
by
auction
houses
with
great
attention.
Dr.
Helia
Darabi,
art
critic
and
researcher,
states
in
the
exhibition
catalogue
about
the
artist:
"Painting
is
inherently
the
medium
of
silence.
It
invites
the
viewer
to
be
silently
drawn
into
an
endless
abyss.
However,
Andarz's
painting
is a
silent
one
again:
the
silence
of
the
composition
for
its
plain,
vacant
spaces;
the
silence
of
the
surfaces
for
the
pale
and
vague
presence
of
the
element
of
line;
the
silence
of
the
colors
for
their
treated,
merged
quality;
and
the
silence
due
to
subject
matters:
the
fruit,
the
fish,
the
whale
under
the
water.
The
silence
brings
about
the
ideas
of
time,
and
for
Andarz,
time
is
always
sacrificed
for
the
sake
of
painting.
He
is a
diligent
painter
who
produces
few
paintings,
and
this
is
due
to
his
peculiar,
deliberate
mode
of
working:
a
mode
which
turns
his
work
into
a
kind
of
meditation,
and
his
painting
into
a
vessel
of
time;
a
vessel
in
which
the
days
and
hours
are
floating,
the
days
of
solitude,
and
the
work
of
painting.”
