Shirin Gallery is pleased to present Light and Space, a solo exhibition featuring Nasim
Abolghasem’s recent artworks with various mediums such as metal, aluminum, acrylic paint, and light.
Nasim Abolghasem was born in Tehran. She got her master degree in Literature from Islamic Azad University of Tehran.
According to Nasim:
“The prominent artworks in this exhibition are numerous and tend to be staged that
require visual elements, space, light, and color. The sculptures, predominantly in large scale, show life and motion, drawing the viewer’s attention. I want the viewer’s emotions to be influenced by the visual and space elements less related to current realities.”
There are relationships of form, size, space and light that guide the viewer to his imagination. At the same time, the works are minimalistic. Ultimately, the artwork embodies the artist’s profound connections and deepest yearnings.
Behrouz Daresh says the following about this collection:
Nasim Abolghasem’s recent works are multiple and endless arrangements in their own way, artistic individuality, original and unexpected, first and early. They overflow from the proposition of linguistic and conceptual ideas. They are disobedient to surprise the host. They are outside and inside. They are intermediaries, repeatedly take a gap, against and contradictory. They remain indeterminate and abort the meaning. They are hard, concept, oriented and intuitive, but they do not assume any of them.
Permanency roams and dwells in the lack of permanence in our eyes. A work of art is an event that comes and ends on a process, circulation, and authenticity, without the call, without promises, without disappointment, and passes the threshold.
It is a beach where the sea touches it thousands of times, it comes and goes, It feels, but it does not go beyond it. It does not mandate order nor accept obeys orders, it does not agree to any promise, it is the face of all the dead, the future, and the survivors.
It is a basis for new thinking. The work of art is neither science nor philosophy. It passes from the horizon of the transcendence of time and space.
It is from the discourse propositions that surrender to themselves, and from the boundaries of determination. It has become self, delusion and fantasy, visual imaginations are a space for inconsistent recommendations and a place for their shortcomings.
In the end, this is in reality, what we believe in; we wait for it and we love.
