“With the clarity and power of yellow.”

The group exhibition “580 Nanometers / Yellow” will open on Friday, November 27, at Artibition Gallery. Curated by Pegah Behrouzfar, the exhibition features a selection of works by visual artists and professional designers. The aim of this event is to explore the boundary—and the boundarylessness—between design and the visual arts. It is an interdisciplinary project that, rather than merely linking design and visual art, examines the borders between them and the moments in which those borders dissolve.

The boundary between art and design

In recent years, the worlds of art and design have witnessed events that go beyond mere exhibitions, offering a profound experience and a fresh perspective on objects, spaces, and beauty. Two notable examples of this movement are Salon Art + Design in New York and FAB PARIS. These international gatherings have set new standards for both fine and applied arts, reminding us that art is not confined to the walls, and design is not solely for function—together, they form an integral part of how we experience life.

“An image of our worldview”

Illustration is not merely an artistic technique, a craft, or an aesthetic skill; it is directly connected to the worldview of the artist and the audience they have in mind. Illustration is undoubtedly a nonverbal expression of an idea or a text, which may include literature, news, or music. Throughout the history of modern Iranian art, outstanding works of illustration have emerged from the linkage between the word—as a representation of thought—and the image—as another form of expression.

Lines to Express Inner Emotions

Free and fluid lines intertwine to create the figure before us. This figure, like many of Alireza Espahbod’s other works, is accompanied by a weary expression and a fatigued posture. Bold, dark strokes set against a white background emphasize the essence and inner state of the piece. Alireza Espahbod’s focus has always been on the human being and the conditions that shape their existence.

In a Friend’s View

The deep friendship between Parviz Shapour and Ardeshir Mohassess began at Khosheh magazine. Later, Mohassess encouraged Shapour to pursue a more serious path in caricature, which eventually led to the creation of Shapour’s famous Caricalligrams. Many of Shapour’s works were inspired by portraits or figures of Ardeshir Mohassess, leaving behind an enduring image of Mohassess as seen through the eyes of a friend.
