Inspired by the title of the movie "In The Mood For Love", "In The Mood For Paper" is a follow-up of the acclaimed "Crouching Paper, Hidden Dragon" works on paper show held at F2 Gallery in 2008 - a group show of solely Chinese contemporary artists. Here's an opportunity for the first time to experience three influential regional and international powers, China, India and Iran, simultaneously through the eyes and fingertips of over thirty established and emerging contemporary artists, all creating exceptional inspiring works of art. The "lighter" title reflects the very different economical situation in which this show finds place; a severe global crisis that has put a damper on everyone's mood for quite sometime now. Now that the word 'investment" has shifted to the back seat, art is again back for the art lovers and art itself.
Despite of its playful title, the show is one of depth, passion and determination. It's a talking show. It talks to you not in Mandarin, Hindi or Farsi but through the strokes of the brushes dipped in the colors of the artist's dreams, mine and perhaps yours. Through the thin layers of paper strong enough to hold all that it bears to say, every single one speaking the same language of oneness yet so unique. It talks about the pain carried through decades, the joy of making it through, the excitement of the possibilities of being heard, the fear of exposure, the lust of a touch, the uncertainty of the unknown. One can not help but to hear the voices of criticism, hope and encouragement so loud and is left with the choice of crossing the sheer line of prejudice.
The works have been made in some of the most polluted parts of the world, but walking through this exhibition, one will not fail feeling the breathe of fresh air, witnessing a vast amount of diversity in taste, style and technique.
"In The Mood For Paper" is bringing the contemporary Chinese, Indian and Iranian artists together to present some aspects of their reality and the rich civilization and culture that's embedded in their DNA and genes. Its a show that talks to you in the universal language of love and also tells you about a dream. A love for art and a dream that includes China, India and Iran.
