+2 proudly presents 鈥淭race鈥� a group exhibition featuring works by renowned artists Reza Lavassani, Vahid Hakim, Ghazaleh Hedayat, and Razieh Sedighian alongside works by Nasser Javaherpour.
This exhibition is curated by Mona Zehtabchi and in collaboration with Maryam Majd, O Gallery, and Emkan Gallery. The exhibition was formed with the help of Hamidreza Qelichkhani, Fereydoun Ave, and Amir Morteza Besharat.
Artists in 鈥淭race鈥� willingly gave up art-making tools, and picked up needles, blades, and flames or even faced the paper barehanded. It鈥檚 a heroic demonstration of power. Reza Lavassani pokes needles onto paper making a colorless pattern, only visible due to the lack of paper. Razieh Sedighian applies the same technique to rice paper. Vahid Hakim creates his works by burning the paper, and Ghazaleh Hedayat by scratching c-prints. All these artworks are placed within the context of a visual tradition of 鈥淣ail Art鈥� from the Qajar era or works using the Qatta鈥檈e technique that involves drawing without the use of pen and ink. The works of Nasser Javaherpour, one of the few calligraphy masters still practicing this nail technique, are placed in this category.
