Artibition Buy, Sell and browse artworks from Iran

The photo exhibition “14 Elegies” featuring works by Alfred Yaghoubzadeh on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the liberation of Khorramshahr will be on display at the Artibition online gallery starting Friday, June 2nd. Alfred Yaghoubzadeh is a war and documentary photographer born in 1955. Yaghoubzadeh has captured lasting images of the most important political and historical moments in contemporary Iran and the world.

In Niloufar Mohammadi's works, bodies, fabrics, and empty spaces are depicted with a measured gaze, not to represent a specific moment but to reflect on a life that is present yet disjointed. In these frames, humans stand side by side but in a contactless coexistence. In these works, the artist invites the viewer to silence and pause. It is as if time has stopped in these frames and humans are caught in the middle of a "non-being." This is while the fabrics have a dominant and meaningful presence. An element that sometimes creates the scene and sometimes draws a boundary. Perhaps behind these folded fabrics, our fears are hidden.

At first glance, Ali Chitsaz has created simple works with transparent colors that are more reminiscent of pop art, but with a little reflection, aspects of his critical art and his irony become apparent to the audience. He has included sarcasm in his frank and unabashed expression, and in this vein, he has also shown portraits of himself in his collection of works. He avoids beauty in expressing his vision and exaggerates the creation of elements.
