About the Item
Calling All Angels by Zartosht Rahimi evokes a vibrant and dynamic feeling, combining traditional and contemporary elements. The central figure, an angel with pink skin and bright yellow wings, is depicted in a classical pose, suggesting reverence and spirituality. However, the surrounding environment is filled with a riot of colors and abstract forms, which contrast sharply with the angel's serene demeanor.
Flying has long been a symbol of transcending human limitations and reaching a level of enlightenment or power. In works of civilization, “wings” symbolize this mystical aspect of how to overcome the constraints of time and space. With wings, humans could ascend beyond and reach a divine level. The ascension of the holy ones and the descent of angels, whether physical or spiritual, has been enlightening, depicting the kingdom of heaven for the seekers of knowledge. From the revelations of Bayazid and Ruzbihan to the logic of the mystical poems, we find this pattern in Iranian literature.
In his recent collection, Zartosht Rahimi has endeavored to re-envision and recall historical winged figures in an undefined, vibrant space. He immerses them in a background saturated with expressionism and graffiti-style colors. Rahimi has reconstructed the angels and depicted them in a carnivalesque of multifaceted color palette, which is both humorous and expressively unsettling. Through these “Grotesque” visuals, new forms of imagery are introduced, where the shapes and colors of brush strokes portray a transcendent existence for the characters, offering fresh perspectives and understandings for the audience.
The use of bold, energetic colors like pink, yellow, green, and blue, along with splashes and drips, adds a sense of movement and chaos to the composition. This juxtaposition creates a feeling of tension between the calm, timeless presence of the angel and the lively, almost chaotic background.
Overall, the painting conveys a complex emotional landscape, blending a sense of sacredness with modern, expressive energy. The angel's expression and posture suggest contemplation and grace, while the background infuses the scene with vibrancy and unpredictability. This combination can evoke feelings of wonder, introspection, and a sense of the divine intersecting with the contemporary world.
Rahimi's artworks often reflect various aspects of his environmental realities. Central to his artistic concerns are the desire for freedom, the exploration of universal dialogue, and the paradoxical elements of politics, culture, and religion.
