One of Iran's most celebrated artists Reza Lavasani, born in 1962 in Tehran (Iran), is an artist of many talents and careers: painter, sculptor, illustrator and stage designer. He has also studied philosophy for many years, with a particular focus on mythology, sociology and history, themes that feature prominently in his work. Although Reza Lavasani uses a wide range of media and materials, he uses a number of key subjects in his work, which he continually explores. These include the horse, the bird, the woman, the tree... Universal symbols that the artist manages to make unique in each of his poetical representations. This book, with its meticulous selection of works, is not intended to be a simple presentation of Reza Lavasani's work, but rather a dialogue between the texts and the works. This notion of conversation is important to the artist, who likes to seize on an object or subject to encourage the viewer to redefine it in the light of his work. Reza Lavasani has exhibited all over the world (Japan, France, Slovakia, Netherlands, Bangladesh, Turkey, England) and has taken part in numerous fairs, including the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019.
