an exhibition inspired by the work of iranian artist Shirin HEIDARINEZHAD. a bold, silent encounter between painting and photography, masterfully celebrating silence in all its forms.
Silence: the most heart-rending of cries.
There are so many occasions to shout out your joy, your pleasure, your pain, your anger... to shout out to dare to express what's deep inside you, and also to make yourself better heard...
but there are also many moments when silence is the most heart-rending of cries.
This is the moment we wish to honor, alongside this young Iranian artist,
a moment when our whole being tenses up before the violence of the silent word
on canvas. The tension of expectation, the tension of hope, the tension of places, of architectures, of souls...
This exhibition is a silent, bold rendezvous between painting and photography.
masterfully celebrate silence in all its forms. The bliss of a moment of beauty,
the exaltation of a face-to-face encounter with the image, the restrained turmoil of an unforgettable encounter.
And it is in this way that these photographs respond "word for word" to Shirin's large-scale painted canvases,
For whatever their purpose, they all speak to us in silence.
