مروری بر آثار آزاده رزاقدوست چیدمانی متفاوت از چندین مجموعه او در گالری شیرین خواهد بود. در این نمایشگاه، کارهای متاخر این هنرمند به همراه مجموعه‌های قدیمی‌تر به نمایش گذاشته می‌شود
آزاده رزاقدوست متولد ۱۹۷۹ میلادی، در تهران بدنیا امد، دوره متوسطه را در رشته نقاشی در هنرستان هنرهای تجسمی تهران گذراند و در سال ۲۰۰۰ از دانشگاه هنر فارق التحصیل شد. نگاه او رمانتیک و هنرش مرتبط با بیانی بشدت اکسپرسیو و احساساتی است. مفاهیمی که در کارهایش به صورت ناخودآگاه نمایان شده‌اند، گمراه کننده و ناواضح هستند. عنوان دوره هایش معمولا همراه با شعر به نمایش گذاشته می‌شوند، شاعرانی چون ”شارل بودلر“ ،”ویلیام بلیک “ ,”اینگبورگ باخمن “. او از مخاطب نمیخواهد که نقاشی هایش بر اساس شعر قضاوت شود، بلکه ،شعر صرفا تقویت کننده فضا، مود و حس و حالی است که آثار آزاده رزاقدوست در آن شکل می‌گیرد. شاید استفاده از شعر، ابزاری اضافی باشد، و شاید هم او با این کار می خواهد ذات درونگرای خود به عنوان نقاش را به نمایش بگذارد. در روند کاری رزاقدوست، شاهد مفاهیمی چون، رنج و خشم هستیم و رنگ سرخ الهام و نمادی از تقدس خون است. در مجموعه اخیرش “در طوفان گل سرخ” که نام یکی از شعر های “ باخمن”، شاعر و فیلسوف زن آلمانی است, اشاره به مفهومی به شدت اکسپرسیو از تجربه عشق دارد، گویی گردبادی از رنگ سرخ و احساسات قلیان شده در فضا پخش شده‌اند. خون در کارهای این هنرمند سمبلی از حیات و زندگی است. بیماری، شهوت و عشق مفاهیمی است که در سر تا سر آثار به آن اشاره می‌شود. استفاده از خطوط مدادی نقطه اوج و پایان دهنده کارهاست
کارهایش ابدا به عنوان هنرخاورمیانه‌ای دسته بندی نمی‌شود و بیانش سیاسی و اگزوتیک نیست. سفیدی بوم ها، خط خطی ها، نوشته‌ها، سایه‌های لطیف آبی، صورتی چرک و اشارات کمی از طلایی در کنار وسعت عظیمی از رنگ سرخ، خصوصیاتی است که کار او را از دیگر هنرمندان معاصرش متمایز میکند
در نقاشی های رزاقدوست تجربه‌ای متفاوت و نامتعارف از زیبایی دیده می‌شود و چون شعر بودل، حسی از ملال، زوال و ناپایندگی درچرخه‌ای دایمی از قدرت و شکنندگی بوجود می‌آید
ضربات قلمش به شدت اکسپرسیو است. رزها را به شیوه‌ای آبستره به تصویر می‌کشد. رزها، مثلث‌ها و گلدان‌ها، یاد آور رحم، زهدان و قلب هستند. ولی مطلقا، این اتفاق نه به این خاطر است که او یک زن یا مخاطبانش زن ها هستند، بلکه او فقط یک هنرمند زن است که ازین فرم ها استفاده میکند. بیان او بیش‌تر به ویژگیهای اروتیک اشاره دارد تا اینکه صرفا بخواهد جنسیت و ارزش گذاری جنسی را نشان بدهد
توجه به خون، بدن و بیماری، تاییدی نیز هست از اثبات علاقه کودکی او که دوست داشته پزشک و جراح قلب باشد
An overview of Azadeh Razaghdoost’s works in the form of a unique installation of her several series will be displayed at Shirin Art Gallery, during which the artist’s later works are exhibited along with older collections.
Born in 1979 in Tehran, Azadeh Razaghdoost studied at Tehran School of Art and graduated from Tehran University of Art in 2000. She often maintains a romanticist viewpoint, and her art seems excessively emotional and expressive in tone. The concepts unconsciously introduced in her works are at times ambiguous and misleading. Her series are usually displayed, taking their names after lines of poetry from renowned poets such as Charles Baudelaire, William Blake, and Ingeborg Bachmann. She does not ask the viewer to assess her painting based on the poems. Rather, poetry is merely used to enhance the space, mood, and the atmosphere in which Razaghdoost’s works are produced. The use of poetry is perhaps additional, or perhaps she wants to reveal her introspective nature as a painter by means of this additional tool. In Razaghdoost’s artistic procedure, we observe the representation of concepts such as agony and anger, while color crimson is inspired by the sanctity of blood. Her most recent series, In the Storm of Roses, which is named after a poem of the same title by German poet and philosopher Bachmann, implies a highly expressive notion of love, as though it had been experienced through a whirlwind of crimson and simmering emotions scattered in space. Blood in her work is a sign of vitality, while the notions of love and lust are recurrently recalled all over the work. Using a pencil is like a climax or an ending in her works.
They are by no means classified as Middle Eastern, and her expression lacks political or exotic edges. The blank canvas, the pencil-work scribbles and writings, tender shades of blue, the dirty pink and slight touches of gold besides massive amounts of crimson are distinct features of her painting that make her unique among her peers.
In Razaghdoost’s paintings, a different and eccentric experience of beauty is observed, and akin to Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), a sense of ennui, decline, and mortality is felt in a constant cycle of strength and fragility.
Her brush strokes are keenly expressionistic: her flowers are drawn in an abstract style. Crimson flowers, triangles, and vases are reminiscent of wombs and hearts. Not because of her femininity or having female audiences in mind. She just happens to be a female artist that makes use of these shapes. She is rather concerned with their erotic features than solely pursuing gender-based values.
Her obsession with blood, body, and sickness is rooted in her childhood dream of becoming a physician – a heart surgeon

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
