Mohsen Zare - Fragments of A Long Night

About

Embarking on an unconventional artistic journey that intertwines his learnings in carpet design and graphic arts, Mohsen Zare delves into a profound exploration of self and the world. His artistic endeavors draw inspiration from the realms of photography, biological textures, and geometric structures, resulting in an ever-evolving body of work. The consistent theme in his art is the exploration of contemporary Iranian history, addressing revolutions, wars, migrations, and environmental concerns. It serves as a means for him to engage in a global dialogue, sharing the pain inherent in the present world—a landscape marred by darkness where muted colors and prevailing pain symbolize the suffocating burden of oil on life, casting a pervasive shadow on existence. Despite dedicating years to igniting a flame against this darkness, Zare occasionally encounters dead ends in his artistic aspirations.

As a child of the Middle East, he has embraced the resilience required by his profession. Amidst the elusive promise of a brighter tomorrow, his focus remains on cultivating hope and love. Through his artistic expression, his intent is to imbue each day with additional hues and radiance, pushing back against the prevailing darkness even as he introspectively not only observes it.
