I went to Azad University, central branch of Tehran in 1989 to continue my education in painting, and since then, I have tried to show my own experience in painting. I received my master degree in painting in 1998, and since then, I have been teaching at the university and along with my own painting. I love painting and enjoy other arts. Because art can path to a better life, a new quality and refinement of the human spirit which leads to a better quality of one’s life. I can picture my thoughts and imaginations, and since I am an experimentalist, how to use tools and mediums has always been a major concern. Coincidence , is something that I welcome in my works and I love to create an art work which is more exciting, enjoyable and entertaining, and I firmly believe that speed would affect the performance with more special quality.

A natural ability for art runs in the Marshall family. Neil’s late father produced some excellent ink drawings many years ago. Art college beckoned in 1972 having been prolific in art at school, some pictures featuring exhibitions at this early stage. However, engineering provided a safer option for a career choice. The direction into becoming a draughtsman and design engineer was a rewarding period before entering the management of engineering and production facilities. Local history has always been a major interest in his life. In 2007 he published a local history now and then format book in colour called “Gosport Reflections” which sold out all 3000 of the print run. The following year he produced a second book in the same format called “Portsmouth Reflections” this also sold out the print run which was 5000. There was no time for art...

Pierre Jaggi was born in Geneva on February 25, 1957, where he spent his childhood and completed his secondary studies. At 18 he decided to travel the wide world. He left for Asia, for a 9-month journey that took him to India and Nepal after crossing part of Afghanistan on horseback. He takes a keen interest in indigenous ways of life and various local crafts. Subsequently, he crossed the Sahara, which he will cross again on various occasions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, he embarks on a pirogue and descends the Niger River with other companions. This experience on the borders of our civilizations will earn him the knowledge of the essential and the relative. At the age of 20 he worked on a cargo ship bound for Togo and continued his journey through West Africa. After a short stay in Switzerland, he returned to Africa for two years during which he learned to shape the earth and produced various murals. Then it is the meeting with South America, the Andean populations and their pre-Columbian history, the crossing of the Amazon on the Amazon river. This is the period of his first travel photos. In Brazil, he manufactures sets and jewelry, and embarks from Rio as a crew member on a sailboat to cross the Atlantic. This 45-day crossing to Cape Town will remain a milestone in its existence. Back in Geneva in 1982 he met the one who would become his companion. With her, he will navigate in the movement of the School of Fine Arts, after returning to Africa to learn about traditional techniques of lost wax casting. In Bobo-Dioulasso he meets the master founder who will pass on his knowledge to him. With friends, he built earthen huts in a bush village, and it was there that they held bronze workshops in 1984 and 1985 for students from the Geneva School of Fine Arts. He will return each winter to this African village to deepen his knowledge of bronze casting and continue his plastic research. He also photographs the natives during customary festivals. At the same time, he presents his first sculptures in a gallery in Geneva. In 1988, he went to Uruguay for a year with his partner Arlette, it was there that their daughter Alizée was born. He set up a foundry workshop and made several sculptures which he exhibited in Buenos-Aires, Montevideo, and Punta del Este. He fell in love with the old cars that crisscrossed the roads of Uruguay and bought a Ford A 1929 pickup truck, in which he would later carry out a photographic report. Back in Europe, he settled in France with his family, restored an old farmhouse, set up a workshop and executed the sculpture “Corps et Graphie” inaugurated in Geneva in May 1991. He exhibited in various galleries in Switzerland and France. His son Valentin was born in 1994. In 1996 he returned to Uruguay to make a report on “cachilas” (popular name given to old cars in Uruguay). That same year, he led a bronze internship during the Borne ceramic meetings. He incorporates other materials in his sculptures, such as wood, iron and stone, and works the earth again. His works, anthropomorphic in character, tend to purify lines and volumes and orient themselves towards stylized figuration and abstraction. In 1998 he won the “Year 2000” competition organized by the municipality of Gd-Saconnex in Geneva, and exhibited at the Shakan gallery in Lausanne. Inspired by nature, he presented his first outdoor installations during the Open Doors Workshops in the Cher in 1999, and became a member of the Center Céramique de la Borne. In 2000, he participated in the first Contemporary Art Fair in Bourges and exhibited at the Voutat gallery in Geneva. At the beginning of 2001, he returned to Uruguay in order to prepare the publication of a photo book for the “Ides et Calendes” editions, which would be released in September of that same year under the name “Cachilas, a story of jacks in Uruguay. In 2002, he exhibited at the Diorama gallery in Geneva, at the Shakan gallery in Lausanne, at the Contemporary Art Fair in Bourges, and created the North / South installation on the Esplanade Montbenon in Lausanne. At the same time, he took over the presidency of the Artipousse association which runs plastic arts workshops in rural areas in the Cher department. In 2003, he became a member of the Association of Sculptors of Geneva, he won the competition for the review Accrochage, and exhibited at the Beaujon space in Paris, invited by the City Hall of the 8th Arrondissement. In 2004, he exhibited as a guest artist at the Center de Création Céramique de La Borne on the theme of the pebble, and presented at the third Contemporary Art Fair the work "Triptych" which will be acquired by the city of Bourges. In 2005, commissioned by the city of Onex, he produced “Rencontre”, an artistic intervention on a sequoia in Brot Park in Geneva, a sculpture from which a tray will be extracted which will become a palaver table for the inhabitants of the district, place du 150ème. . In 2006, he mounted a solo exhibition at the Ferme de la Chapelle gallery in Geneva, then inaugurated the work Triptyque at the 3rd Biennale of Contemporary Art in Bourges. He then participated in the Lancy Quadrennial in Geneva, as well as the 8th edition of Quid Novi? in Gaillard. He also presents his work at the Simple gallery in Gstaad. In 2007, he was one of the winners of the 1% Artistic Competition at the Collège d'Isneauville in Rouen and presented the “Growing Up” project there. Then, he exhibited at the Galerie du Théâtre Mac-Nab in Vierzon where the city acquired the sculpture “Colossus”. Then he took part in the “Art in all its States” event in Limay where he carried out an in situ intervention on chestnut trees. He also exhibits at the United Nations Palace in Geneva.
