Shirin Gallery is proud to unveil a solo exhibition of the latest works of
Bijan Nemati Sharif (19947-2012) along with his painting and
puppets.
The evolution of Bijan Nemati Sharif's reflection in his puppets, paintings
and sculptures makes him an artist with an independent personal
expression. His type of approach, which has a homogeneous connection,
formed a paradigm.
Bijan Nemati Sharif was one of the first contemporary and modern
Iranian sculptors to add color to his sculptures. In the expanded arena of
contemporary sculpture, he used new and unique material to emphasize
the ease and mentality of transforming thought into execution, thus
freeing himself from modernism's artificial definition. His sculptures
break the boundaries of materials, using a bright color palette and
connecting with the staging of his puppets, thereby suspending them in
the sculpture's intertextual space and theatrical scene. Using the
combination of media and modern views, he challenges pure thinking and
seeks to expand the media, concept, and audience in his works. Nemati
Sharif is one of the artists who has removed the limitations of media,
materials and vertical composition from his works. Using the
deconstruction approach, he creates an unreal space by deforming the
elements reassembling them, and expanding their scope by eliminating
characterization. By removing the base, Nemati Sharif tries to pull his
sculptures from the idealistic objectivity and remove the authoritarian
and praiseworthy aspects.
These works find a new aspect by using postmodernist elements - humor,
pluralism and allegory.
The choice of elements, that is, the combination of man and animal and
objects, and their unconventional arrangement, create a strange
atmosphere that distinguishes his mental context from that of his
contemporaries. Nemati Sharif depicts the world of a colorful and playful
childhood dream to forget the gray around us.
