The exhibition, titled “Posture, Fabric, Prague”, puts on display paintings by Mahsa Makki showing sculptures mixed with Iranian fabric motifs.
The idea of the exhibition came to Mahsa’s mind after a visit to the Czech, where she saw dozens of sculptures of famous Eastern European figures.
“Prague’s statues had a big impact on me. Behind these valuable statues are years of life and history of an era,” she said.
“To keep the spirit of sculptures alive, I preferred to mix them with fabrics with Iranian motifs. The [feeling of] life in the fabrics’ design helps present the spirit inside the sculptures,” she said.
This is the first solo exhibition of Mahsa, a 29-year-old graduate of painting who has held several group exhibitions inside and outside Iran.
The exhibition was held at the Sayeh Gallery in Tehran’s Karim Khan Avenue.
