The Painting Exhibition "The Moment That It Was" at Ba gallery.
Dec 22, 2024
According to Saba, this exhibition has been shaped by looking at what defines a moment in the details of everyday life, objects, and people, featuring works by young and innovative artists. The artists in the exhibition, listed in alphabetical order, are: Azin Baghernia, Aida Pashakhanloo, Sarah Pooyanfard, Sana Hadavi, Mahbod Hosseini, and Raheleh Yousefi.
In part of the exhibition statement "That Moment That Was," written by Shahrzad Royaei, it states: "Now that the boundary between photography and painting has become very faint, the creation of works with this theme is increasingly common. Among the artists whose works embody such an approach is Gerhard Richter. In this collection, a moment is not only recalled through the presence of humans but sometimes the arrangement of objects in reality or imagination can also evoke that feeling in our present.
A moment can sometimes be watching a train track from childhood that reaches our dreams today. A moment when the accumulation of clothes in a corner transports us to a difficult or easy time in the past or a dream of the future. Sometimes it’s a vase of love, a gift for today, that conjures up an ending from yesterday in our hearts.
Moments always remain, even those that have been. Now some of them have taken shape in a piece of art."
Those interested can visit this exhibition daily from January 7th to January 21st at Ba Gallery.
Ba Gallery is open every day from 5 PM to 8 PM and on Fridays from 4 PM to 8 PM to welcome visitors.
