About the Item

Colorful and vibrant folk art painting on found wood. Artist Statement “I love to paint. It’s very natural for me. It’s a daydream with paint or an expression of feeling or an experiment or just fun and soul exploration or prayer or therapy or all these. Of course these are all just words—painting is often a new mystery each time. I’m happy to show in Nashville at the Red Arrow gallery. I don’t know much about Nashville; just that so many great musicians are there. I’m impressed with the way the Red Arrow gallery has endured and seems to have a good energy. Some may call my art folk art or many other labels. I don’t like feeling boxed in by a label and since I still do it like I did as a child, I sometimes describe it as advanced children’s art. It’s a gift to me and in that light I don’t take much credit for it. I’m thankful and painting is so enjoyable that if they disappeared after I did them I’d probably still do them; just as I play guitar and the music is gone. Well, that’s my statement and I hope you enjoy the show.” Rick Bio Born in 1958, Columbus, Ohio. I have felt the gift of being an artist from the beginning. I did it for fun and expression and grownups and children liked it. I played sports-I was the self-acclaimed tetherball champ in grade school and in my teens I became a good golfer. High School art classes turned me off so I did less for a while, but felt I was still improving in my mind. I went to Ohio State to play golf on the team. We were the best team in the North and in 1979 we won the N.C.A.A. I picked art as a major and fell back in love with it. I played on the P.G.A. tour in 81-81 but was one of the worst of the best and ended up going to grad school for a place to paint. I didn’t care about the degree, just a place to paint. I tried living off my art sales on and off for years but the pressure of being poor seemed unfair to my art. Luckily, I ended up slowing becoming a “fix up” man to help pay for life. I’ve been showing since 1979 and selling since 1983. I don’t keep count, but I would guess there are well over 1000 pieces of mine all over the world.

Mysticism Mohammad Ariyaei 21st Century painting outsider Iranian art colourful

By Mohammad Ariyaei

Located in Paris, FR

Acrylic paint on canvas Hand-signed lower right « Here the barbaric or savage ceremonies of New Guinea take on the air of Rio carnival. Here the vitality bursts and the colors dance the jig while thundering. A charivari of African masks, children's drawings and neon colors invades the meticulously meshed backdrops with volcanic overflows. It seems that within a kindergarten class, merry feathered wizards have joined together to cover the canvas or the paper with totemic figures strewn with the most inventively unexpected graffiti, in a creative frenzy so bubbling that the anarchy that threat recovers as in spite of itself a semblance of balance. The graphic design performs an enveloping and virtuoso dance that passes from the most wisely academic exercise to the most exuberant and Dionysian lyrical expressionism. It's flamboyant, paroxysmal and wonderfully joyful. Should we detect here any influence of the spirit of "outsider art", today widespread worldwide? Perhaps, but then it is undeniable that the personal temperament of Mohammad ARIYAEI...
