Coming to a clear and adequate account of one\u2019s community is difficult because of the relentless and transformative nature of<br>change. The introspective artist who looks inward comes closer to understanding and defining these intricate realities.<br>Drawing on more than one cultural repertoire, Iranian-born artist Reza Hosseiny has created a cross-cultural dialogue filled with delicacy, grace and astonishing beauty. Since the 1988s, his intricate ceramic works deploy a profound sense of personal exploration and temporal investment, social and<br>cultural commentary. The artist writes: \u201cThe flow of life is unbreakable and constant and does not relate to human actions. Even in the most inverted social activities, life is a process, as this is not like a current in a factory production line, which stops with the slightest disadvantage in the machines.<br>Matter is the flow of life and cannot be stopped by removing the most essential part of this flow, which is human activity.\u201d Hosseiny reconciles: \u201cWhat are the solutions to all those pain in the Inversion Collection? Love. Which I try to show [them] in the Upright Collection.&#8221;<br>The Inversion Project is Hosseiny\u2019s meditation on the paradoxes between conflict and tranquility, calamity and splendor, the sacred and the profane. This solo exhibition congregates two interconnected bodies of work\u2014the Inversion Collection and the Upright Collection\u2014which explore the crossing of performative action, conceptual ceramics and hand-built pottery. Every piece radiates with meaning.<br>Hosseiny creates enduring bonds by amalgamating both Western and Middle  Eastern concepts, belief systems and visual languages. Through this synthesis of his ancestral homeland and adopted country, he eloquently speaks from the \u201cin-between\u201d of varied social and cultural realities.<br><strong>Olexander Wlasenko<br>Curator<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cultural character and vitality of all communities are complex.
