Tehran

باورها

وقتی پانزده ساله بودم کارم را با بافت شروع کردم. وقتی بیست و دو ساله شدم اولین آتلیهام را راه انداختم و تقریباً با پشم و نخ و پارچه و طراحی سر و کار داشتم و دارم. همزمان با سالگرد پنجاه سالگیام تصمیم گرفتم در کنار کار حرفهایام کاری غیرحرفهای انجام دهم به همین دلیل نقاشی را با آقای جوادیپور شروع کردم بعد از مدت کوتاهی به دلیل نداشتن موضوع دلخواه، نقاشی را کنار گذاشتم. شبی یاد مادربزرگم افتادم که همیشه گوشهی طاقـچـهاش یک نقش عجیب روی فلز بود. یکبار از او پرسیدم این فلز با این نقش چیست؟ گفت: «جادوی مهر و محبت، وقتی آقا میآید (منظور پدربزرگم است) من این را در آب میگذارم و بعد آب را به آقا میدهم. جالب بود وقتی آقا آب را میخورد چند روزی بود و بعد میرفتند و تا چند ماه پیدایشان نبود.» این نقش موضوع نقاشی من شد. نقشهای دیگر را یافتم و شروع کردم به نقاشی.

نقش‌ها برایم شگفت‌انگیز بود. مدت‌ها هم گرفتار این باورها بودم که دختران و پسران جوان چه زحماتی بابت وصل و زن ها بابت نگهداری شوهران می‌کشند. شروع کارم با قلم‌مو بود ولی حسی که به دنبالش بودم پیدا نکردم. به همین دلیل کار با کاردک را شروع کردم. وقتی تکه‌های رنگ را کنار هم می گذاشتم احساس وصل شدن را داشتم و بدون اختیار ذکر برای باورهایشان می‌گفتم. اردیبهشت 88 با موضوع طلسم‌ها در گالری گلستان نمایش انفرادی داشتم و در همان سال 88 در آبان ماه در نگارخانه دی نمایش گروهی و امسال در آبان 93، آن باورهای قدیمی را به تصویر کشیدم و در گالری اعتماد به نمایش گذاشتم.

Beliefs

When I was 15, I started my work with weaving. At 22, I established my first atelier and since then I have been dealing with wool, thread and textile.  On my 50th birthday, I decided to paint besides my professional work; therefore l started painting with Mr. Javadipour. After a short while, I quit painting due to some reasons... One night I remembered my grandma who always had a piece of metal with a strange pattern imprinted on it, which she used to keep on the corner of her shelf. Once I asked her “What is this metal thing with that pattern?” She said: “It is the spell of passion and love. Whenever my man comes (meaning my grandpa), I put this in water and then give the water to him to drink”. The interesting thing was that whenever my grandpa drank the water, he stayed for a few days and then left and disappeared for months! This pattern became the subject of my paintings. Later on I found other patterns as well and started painting again.

The patterns were amazing to me. For a long time, I was obsessed with the thought of the amount of effort boys and girls put into holding onto each other, and wives into keeping their husbands.

 I started my work using brushes but then realized that I could not find the feeling I was looking for in them, therefore I switched to pallet knife. When I put the pieces of colors together, I had the feeling of a passionate connection and unconsciously repeated the words of the spell on behalf of those who believed it.

I had a solo exhibition in Golestan Gallery titled “The Spells” in May 2009 and a group exhibition in Day Gallery the November of the same year.  This year, I have portrayed those ancient beliefs and will present them in Etemad gallery, in November 2014.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
