From Object To Figure
Figures, social symbols of the real world and the conflict between people, which always have a special place in the history of art among the artworks of painters and sculptors. But in the upcoming collection, from the classic social-protest function of the figure, which is present with the Saqakhana school and the loud voice of Iranian artists to disrupt the common principles of the 40s of basing their works on Western schools, to a glue on the mouth of an artwork by a prominent modern figurative painter in the 20th decade is observed. The creation of figures in the hands of artists is a reflection of our external world, while each artist has taken a different method to create this reflection. In this collection, we encounter the most real and at the same time the most faded state of the human figure, because consciousness is a state of knowledge that includes a subject and several objects. But in the artist's mind, the object does not need an external presence, and sometimes he creates his figure without the head, "source of his thought", and sometimes it is created without any dependence on the human materialistic body in the form of an empty shirt with a body.

What is written or transformed into a picture on a canvas or a sculpture is proof of the representation of a world and a reality, but the way of using matter and form is a worldview. What shows the difference between the real object and the figure is the same worldview, which is based on symbolic language with the intervention of color, lines, and visual relationships, and these are the factors that create the semantic system of a painting or sculpture. Therefore, the object is reality, and figurative reality means the way the artist approached an object in the world or a perception in front of a piece of existence.
