‘Another View’ painting exhibition offers fresh focus
The exhibition ‘Another View’, featuring 20 of his paintings by Alireza Esmaeili, is underway at the Laleh Art Gallery.
Esmaeili believes that his use of pure forms and colors in his works aims to invite the audience to experience beauty from a different perspective.
At the opening ceremony, Esmaeili stated, “David Martin believes that ‘no other art can affect the audience as much as music.’”
He added, “Some art thinkers believe that all forms of artistic expression strive to approach music in their most elevated forms. Unity, rhythm, harmony, and the organic connection between elements are features that bring music closer to human nature, evoking emotions, and inspiring the audience.”
Esmaeili emphasized that if a painter follows this approach, they will become closer to the essence of existence, nature, and human beauty.
He said, “I have tried to achieve this harmony in my works, presenting a part of this fluid and floating harmony in existence through pure forms and colors, and inviting the audience to experience beauty from another perspective.”
Mohammadali Saeedi, the manager of Laleh Art Gallery and curator of ‘Another View,’ noted that Esmaeili’s abstract expressionist paintings demonstrate that a painting does not necessarily need to have a narrative or meaning.
He explained, “The musical meaning of his colorful forms is created through the same expectation that a music listener experiences. In these works, the painter revives tendencies in the audience that may not have been realized before, evoking visual and aesthetic inspirations that are ultimately resolved by the audience’s internal interpretations.”
Esmaeili is a graduate of the University of Soreh’s painting department and has over 20 years of experience in the visual arts. He is also a member of the Institute for the Development of Visual Arts and an artistic advisor to the Research Institute of Islamic Culture and Art.
The exhibition ‘Another View’, opened on November 29 and will be open from Saturday to Wednesday, until December 7, at the Laleh Art Gallery, except for holidays.
