Ayyam Gallery is pleased to introduce two photographic series by Majid Koorang Beheshti from September 10 until October 11 at the Ayyam Art Center, Dubai. His first solo exhibition outside Iran, entitled ‘Telling Spaces’, will provide a unique opportunity to view the span of imagination, politically reactionary work, and beauty of line created by today’s artists of Iran.
In Beheshti’s 2007 series, ‘The Cubic Paths’, the stark crispness of monochrome constructions, angular or often curved and offset with bold ebony-shadowed areas and clean lines in repeated sequences, create foreign landscapes reminiscent of Bauhaus and, at times, Surrealist sensibilities. The structures are devoid of their original purpose, allowing the form and line of each segment to stand out and create a new meaning for the viewer.
