Total Arts Gallery at the Courtyard and
Massoud Nader
Proudly
present the first solo exhibition in Dubai of
Ramtin Zad
“Dreamworld”
Opening
on Tuesday, 5th May 2009, 7 – 9 pm.
Exhibition
continues until 25th May.
Opening
hours from 9 am to 7 pm, except Fridays.
“Dreamworld”
is the visualization of Ramtin’s dreams.
Ramtin
Zad involves the viewer in his mystical figurative
dreamworld expressed in a labyrinthine and colorful
richness of images overwhelmed by symbolic and references
which make the viewer rather grin than fear.
Zad
calls this dedication “the absolute”, when man no
longer struggles between reality and dream but crosses
the tangible world.
The
only real and active elements in his paintings,
portrayed in natural colors, are women trying to
tame power with words of advice. Others observe
and witness violence and the revolt of beauty against
it.
Trying
to interpret and finding the truth in Zad’s imaginary
paintings the viewer will loose himself, realizing
that everybody and everything he perceives is subjective
and imaginary.
Ramtin
Zad lives and works in Tehran and has exhibited
in a solo show at Golestan Gallery, Tehran, and
in group exhibitions in London, Kuwait and Basel.
