WELCOME TO
The Renascence of Disposable Papers
An Online Exhibition by Hesam Sharifi
Intro...
This story should end somewhere,
Mother nature gives…
And we hurt, we destroy, and we will cry for the earth at the end.
But this time, let’s heal her wounds with some salve.
Tiny but fresh!
An ointment made by art. The Painting…
Manifest Text
Human being and their daily life have caused much damage to nature. With the industrialization of the world, these injuries have become even Worse. If we study all the aspects of modern human life, we cannot find any part in which nature is comfortable. Art is also not excused from this disaster. Perhaps at first look, art is not considered a real danger to the earth. But with careful examination, we can see some destructive effects of art productions on nature.
In painting, for example, mediums come into existence entirely in a process destructive to nature. Oil colors, watercolors, acrylics, pencils, plasters, pastels, etc., will poison our planet. Substrates such as canvases and papers also multiply this tragedy.
In this exhibition, we want to minimize nature’s damage by painting on cardboard, which is thrown away in our daily life or, in the best chance, recycled in a chemical cycle. It is a gift from an artist to Mother Earth. Let’s show the pure meaning of Modern Art to the audience and not the great medium!

About music:
The music album is the soundtrack of the short film intituled Zaqqum, The Tree Of Hell, an avant-garde film accompanied by experimental electronic music and sound design by an innovative composer Hadi Farahmand. It is all about the sound of contemporary art that witnesses the modern world. A world that, ignoring the consequences of its actions, built a new order that destroyed itself will do. In this exhibition, with the same stylish voice, we celebrate together the renascence of disposable papers. I think the music part represents the voice of our new planet! Hesam Sharifi
