"پیکسلیسم"

به ضیافت دنیای غریبِ صور زیبایی دعوت شده ایم که مدتها بود در شتاب سرسام آور زندگیِ مدرن، محو شده بودند. مائده امتیاز، برای یادآوری این اجزای دلفریبِ فراموش شده، از ریزترین ذرات یاختهوار مدد میجوید و با وقفۀ بردبارانه و پرداخت ریاضتوارِ یک یک ذرات، گسترۀ رنگین عالم غریبش را ذره به ذره رقم میزند. نقاش خود برای ترسیم شطرنجی و ذره پردازانۀ آثارش که از پیوند قطعات ریزِ پیکسلوار شکل گرفته اند، از اصطلاح «پیکسلیسم» استفاده میکند. چارگوش های ریزی که هر یک حاوی نقش و نگاری ریزپردازانه در قابی مستقل اند ولی در پیوند با یکدیگر تصویر واحدی را شکل میبخشند و جلوه ای شبیه به نقشۀ پارچه به خود میگیرند. مائده با تأثیر از سبک وسیاق هنرآفرینی چاک کلوز، از واقع گرایی عکاسانۀ این هنرمند فاصله میگیرد و دنیای خیال انگیز درونش را در فضایی سورئالیستی می آفریند. دنیایی که با وجود مؤلفه های آشنا و مأنوسش، بیگانه و غریب می نماید: بوستانی که گلهای رنگارنگش بر قامت آدمی شکفته اند، موجوداتی دوگونه: هم آدم هم گل، نه آدم نه گل. اینکه نقاش به جای سروصورت آدمها، قدیمترین تمثیل زیبایی و لطافت را می نشاند، بی جهت نیست؛ او با این تدبیر، سرشت لطیف روح آدمی را تجسم می بخشد، موهبت گرانبهایی که گویا زمانی می شناختیمش و حالا یکسره به دست فراموشی اش سپرده ایم. تعارض غافلگیرکنندۀ انسانی که به جای سرش گلی روییده، در نظر آدم/گلهای این سرزمین - خواه مردی در لباسی رسمی که حالتی جدی به خود گرفته، خواه زنی که فارغ بال انگشتان را بر انبوه گیسوان گلبرگی اش لغزانده - کاملاً بدیهی و طبیعی می نماید. این ویژگی، حال و هوایی طنزگونه و شیرین به فضای آثار می بخشد، دیری نمیگذرد که با ساکنان خوشدل و بی تکلف دنیای مائده انس میگیریم، دیگر بیگانه نیستند، با ما هم جوهرند، آینه ای که چه بسا تصویر درونِ هر یک از ما باشد.

“Pixelism”

This painting collection was inspired by internationally renowned photo/realist painter, Chuck Close. In contrast to the Chuck Close art style, Maedeh’s subjects are from her imagination and extremely symbolic. She applies an ancient grid drawing technique on dreamlike surreal images, and then intricately paints them Pixel by Pixel. She, humorously refers to this style as “Pixelism”. The influence of her Textile design background is apparent in her art-work, which gives these images the appearance of handmade tapestry. This technique naturally prolongs the process of completion for each painting, which induces a mental state only achieved by focusing artist’s awareness in the present while continuously imagining the desired outcome; a quality or state of being patiently focused to build the final image one pixel at a time. By redefining her painting techniques, she seeks solace from increasingly fragmented interpretations of reality. At first glance, these images reveal ordinary human figures in various poses with flowers replacing their heads; combining two different species that share similar and contrasting attributes, as if to emphasize the inner duality of the human nature. At a deeper level, we identify with these figures, and perhaps even find them warmly familiar.

More About Tehran

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
