Farhad Moshiri Natural 2012 embroidery on canvas on panel 188.5 x 149 cm. (74 1/4 x 58 5/8 in.) Signed, titled and dated '"Natural" Farhad Moshiri 2012' on the reverse.
Provenance Galerie Perrotin, Paris Catalogue Essay “I like to uncover things that have no artistic pretention, that have been created by others and strive to recondition them in the form of works of art.” FARHAD MOSHIRI Executed in 2012, Natural resonates with Farhad Moshiri’s interest in Pop art, discerning an extraordinary, as well as hybrid, pictorial language that draws simultaneously from both popular Iranian and Western cultures. In the present lot, the artist applies his conventionally feminine technique of bead embroidery to create an ornamental quality to his work. Pairing pop culture with Iranian craftsmanship, Moshiri creates an ironic duality: “The Iranians are searching for their identity. depending on their mood, they lean towards the East or the West. Iran is undergoing an inevitable phenomenon that complicates, confounds and diversifies traditions. This is why I am just as inspired by the mall or the bazaar as I am by the ornamentation aesthetic that belongs to Iranian culture”, (F. Moshiri, quoted in ‘Fahrad Moshiri “Picnic”’, press release, Galerie Perrotin: Hong Kong, 26 February – 20 March 2013, p. 1). Comprised of beautiful, intricate sequinned embroidery, the present lot depicts the cool appearance of a female disco-maven. The vibrant and vivacious beads discern an exuberant and playful lifestyle: “My move towards using feminine materials was very intentional. There is a happiness in pastel coloured pastries, candies and colourful decorative materials. Suddenly I thought happiness is a more effective vehicle when talking about sadness and violence. Also the atmosphere I work in has pushed me to find a new vocabulary.I didn’t want to be too straight forward so it suited me perfectly.” (F. Moshiri, and Michele Robecchi. Farhad Moshiri Fire of Joy. Paris: Galerie Perrotin, 2012, p. 19) This “candy style” came to embody one of Moshiri’s prominent visual strategies that are reminiscent of cheerful children’s patterns: “There are many ways to approach the emptiness of the material, the superficial element of it, the pure ornamentation. These are all themes which had a certain echo in our society. The art of ornamentation in Iranian culture is an art form that has been nurtured in order not to say anything. There is a lot of talk about the idea that in Islam you’re not supposed to do figurative art. Therefore ornamentation was promoted and nurtured. Abstract art is a safe art, as far as Islam is concerned. It is easy on the eye and it’s harmless. It is neither social, nor political, it’s just Sheer meaninglessness. Trying to say something using ornamentation as a medium on my palette was an interesting challenge for me. I wanted to take it a step further”, (ibid). Read More
