Pro Art Gallery to Host Solo Exhibition Of Hossein Irandoust ‘Spiritual Dance Volume II’

Dubai, UAE, November 13 2013: Pro Art Gallery, the gallery that celebrates innovative and cutting edge art from the Arab world and beyond, is set to host its next exhibition titled ‘Spiritual Dance’. This dynamic exhibition will showcase the artworks by Iranian painter Hossein Irandoust. The exhibition will open on Wednesday, 13th November,2013 at 7:30pm and will run till 30th November 2013 at the Pro-Art Gallery located in the Palm Strip Mall on Jumeirah Beach Road.

As with many young painters, Irandoust experimented with many styles and various mediums. He has evolved from painting in the realist style to what has now become more of his own unique genre; a combination of minimalism based on his attraction towards his grandfather’s Chinese culture and the simplicity of the mystical philosophy of renowned Persian poets and philosophers. The conversions of these diverse yet similar ancient ideological movements are clearly apparent in Irandoust’s latest Darvish series.
Some of Irandoust’s works have been executed by use of a continuous movement of a knife or paintbrush and some through several continuous steps and layers of medium. The artist also makes use of other visual characteristics such as seals that are derived from important elements of composition. Many of these seals have different meanings, some of which are merely the painter’s name while others are metaphoric references to mystical and philosophical concepts.
“We are very excited to display the works of Irandoust, as his minimal use of colors combined with the vivid expressions and fluid motions of the whirling dervishes give us a glimpse of two ancient cultures that came to similar philosophical conclusions, based on asceticism, simplicity and devoid of materialism”, says Tatiana Faure, Director of Pro Art Gallery.
