Foreign artists display personal observations of Iran
TEHRAN, Feb. 23 (MNA) -- Iranian and foreign participants at the Iranian International Painting Symposium entitled “From Persepolis to the Persian Gulf”, displayed their creations at an exhibit in the southern city of Bandar Abbas on Tuesday.
A group of 18 Iranian and foreign artists made a 10-day trip beginning from Shiraz where they visited Persepolis, Pasargadae, and the mausoleums of Sadi and Hafez. Then, they traveled to Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf, where they applied their observations on canvas.
The artists painted over 50 artworks and have them on display at the Kurosh Garmsari Gallery of the Tuba Cultural Center in Bandar-Abbas. The collection will next be on display at Vahdat Hall in Tehran, which opens on Thursday.
Stanislav Cerny, Gyorgy Dolan, Istvan Eross, Claudio Foradori, Mark Meurisse, Peter Pollag, Francoise Rohmer, Kristian Szabo, and Jana Trnka were the invited artists, who came from Switzerland, Slovakia, Italy, France, Mexico, and several more.
Iranian Faraneh Jalalizadeh, Dariush Hosseini, Khosrow Khosravi, Shima Khashkhashi, Karim Nasr and Reza Hedayat had also joined the group.
Director of Hormozgan Department of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Homayun Amirzadeh, considered the symposium as the best chance to introduce Hormozgan to the world.
Iran, with its diversity of culture and nature, has the potential of being in the best position for artists to carry the message of peace and friendship of the Iranian nation to the world.
Co-sponsored by the Rudaki Foundation and the Hormozgan Department of Culture and Islamic Guidance, the event was arranged to honor Persepolis, which has a thousand years of history; and, to introduce the Persian Gulf to the world by using the same name in order to raise awareness against Arab countries who are trying to distort the Persian Gulf name.
Participating Iranian and foreign artists will be taking part in the session arranged in a side section of the symposium, which is scheduled for Friday at Tehran`s Vahdat Hall.
