2015
About the Item
Taher Asad-Bakhtiari (b. 1982) is a self-taught artist and designer whose practice revolves around objects, textiles and experiences. Truly a citizen of the world, Asad-Bakhtiari spent his childhood and student years in Canada and Switzerland, and currently divides his time between New York City and Dubai. Created using a variety of methods and materials, Asad-Bakhtiari’s works collectively reference and explore his Persian heritage. Deftly utilizing both centuries-old craft techniques and modern fabrication capabilities, Asad-Bakhtiari’s creations are imbued with the spirit of ancient traditions while retaining a hyper-contemporary relevance.
Regarding his "Tribal Weaves," Asad-Bakhtiari states, "My tenuous yet deep-rooted connection with the Bakhtiari tribe motivates me to support this dying craft, and I draw inspiration from their unique artistic legacy... Kilims were true raw expressions of a tribe's outlook on beauty. With the demise of tribal life, that type of art has died. What has not is the technique, and I believe the survival of this craft goes through reinvention." For his kilim and the gabbeh pieces, Asad-Bakhtiari takes the fundamentals of the historical technique, stripping them down to reveal the lace-like texture of the underlying warp, as well as enhancing the traditional geometric shapes, emphasizing the design but also the uniqueness of the medium.

It is an aesthetic, philosophical and artistic concept, also frequently used in everyday life. It is also linked to the Mahāyāna Buddhist philosophy, in which the doctrine of emptiness is central MA, intended as "void full of meaning", used in art «An imaginary room that is in an indefinite position between the sky and the earth, is said to be the original way to represent the concept of but. We imagine both spatial and temporal uncertainty simultaneously: the room is neither in one place nor in the other, it is in an indescribable space " Delineating space spontaneously marks non-outlined voids, which is where freedom of interpretation and reflection can fill it up. This empty space is profoundly beautiful, full of mystery and promise. In significant ways the empty space contributes a unique quality of structure, balance and definition in a composition. In this series, extra attention is paid to the structures and textures of original and natural materials, and organic shapes. For the beholder, the empty space is calming as well as energizing.
