Episode 04

“Episode” is the title of a series of group exhibitions being held at Mohsen Gallery in summer annually and it focuses on exhibiting works of talented and emerging artists who have not had the opportunity to present and introduce themselves. Hence, the audience of these shows are collectors and curators.

Landscape painting is a metaphor for time, fantasy, and encounter and it can be a field of fantasy, reception, and analysis. Having the freedom of choice to adopt an objective or subjective approach, the artists here recount their individual narratives of the notion of landscape; countless narratives of life and death, identity, history, society, politics, captivity, and liberation. In some of their works, visual discovery is significant and in others intuition. To some of them, landscape is a setting in which history flows, some see it as a context for exploration and spontaneous contemplation, and some use it as an arena for fantasizing and considering subjective possibilities. Some view it as the idea of social structure, and some represent it as an environment for individual encounter with the world.
