Rave of Colors

Iranian blue, green, indigo and purple
I will not write about who our teacher is, and I will not say what his position is, I will not say where he is from and what is the year and month, so this text is not written for a person who does not know Mahjoubi’s teacher yet, and even if there is someone or people who are unfamiliar It is enough for them to have an overview of a few of our painter’s works, the rest is crystal clear, so I will write the information like this.

Iranian blue, green, indigo and purple
How many Iranian painters do we know who have their own color palette? Now, we know some Iranian painters who have a lot of their own color palette and most of their colors are all Iranian colors, whose grades are registered under the name of Iran, and we know some Iranian painters who are loyal to the authenticity of Iranian painting and the laws of ancient landscape painting. Spirituality can be seen in his works, and flat and two-dimensional spaces borrowed from painters with a modern and contemporary language can be seen in his frames? And how many painters do we know in the world who, by looking at his works, can recognize the nationality of the artist and the geography of his life? Let’s read the depth of the cultural thoughts of his courtship and even with some deeper reflection and contemplation of his biography and theoretical knowledge and field of study from the expression of his images.

Now, let’s go a little further and add to all these features the message of his works, the message of peace, protest against the contemporary disobedient man and respect for nature are sung like a melodious hymn in the patterns, forms and colors of the master. In the first months of autumn last year, the retrospective exhibition on the seventy years of experiences of this genius master of contemporary Iranian art, which became the excuse to write these few lines, is a testimony to the claim that the power and capability of the master’s pen and his nobles are complete and complete in drawing and painting techniques, and he To what extent have they had extensive and deep studies in contemporary art, which is the result of creating such amazing works. And what better promise than that there are unseen masterpieces of the master and his treasure, which can still surprise the audience of the Iranian contemporary art world time and time again, and surely, after the unveiling of these magnificent and exquisite works, we can think of greatness, power and thought. Let’s look at the pure pride of our contemporary art. Maybe then the power of our perception will grow to the height of the free cedars of the master, where a thin sparrow joins the blue expanse of the sky in its highest ascent.
