About the Item
MA (間 )
Is a Japanese term that can be translated as "interval", "space", "pause" or "empty space between two structural elements." 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. Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi's paintings have their raison d'être in their essentiality. A formal and chromatic simplicity that appears silent, but at the same time dense with spirituality.
The unifying element is a golden line, conceived as a symbolic part of the circle of life. The painting contains a piece of this, as if to protect and elevate it into an ethereal, ideal space. The shades of white and blue delicately spread on the canvas refer to the idea of a blank page on which it is still all to be written. The golden line thus is only the beginning of a narrative that will come to life precisely from that first sign.
The colours seem to flow over the canvas, as if caught in one specific moment of transition. Stressing an unavoidable volalitity, inherent both of life and art, it is captured beautifully in a temporary eternity of an artwork.

Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi (°1979, Tehran) studied at the Brera Academy of Milan in Italy, where he graduated in Fine Arts in 2017. He currently lives and works in Milan and Antwerpen. He exhibits internationally, was awarded with several Fine Arts-prices in Italy and is currently engaged with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerpen, where he conducts his artistic research. Mahmoud Saleh Mohammadi's paintings have their raison d'être in their essentiality. A formal and chromatic simplicity that appears silent, but at the same time dense with spirituality. The unifying element of these works is a gold line, conceived as a symbolic part of a larger circle, the circle of life, as if to protect and elevate them into an ethereal, ideal space. This refers to the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi, namely the practice of using liquid gold to repair broken objects with the idea that from imperfection and wounds can arise an even greater form of aesthetic and inner perfection. Fascinated and inspired by intrinsical beauty, Mahmoud starts from firm materials, treating them with respect, embracing the elements of raw textures and the histories they carry. This results in contemporary and conceptual artworks, minimalistic, abstract, and iconographically strong. His works reference universal languages such as mathematics and the combination of full and empty space, combining form and rythm.
