PREFACE Collective Memory Nasser Palangi

Collective Memory “I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process” Vincent Van Gogh

Memory is a whisper Floating back to us through time, but this diaphanous quality of

memory sometimes causes us to lose touch with what is. Or was real. These artworks have purpose beyond their forms. They are focused on culture, history and heritage. It provides an artistic and alternative view of heritage to new generation. it is the way of placing and preserving memory that is far more than a collection of objects. To show the religious, social and historical richness of the heritage the Middle East, I use a variety of media: painting, print media, embroidery, bending, found objects, photo transfer techniques. To present the images, I work on ritualistic, alter-like objects using not only culturally specific symbolism but also personal imagery. I want to remind people of their culture. I ant to remind people not to forget the past, because the past is the light of Future. My Artworks can be placed in post-modern discourse in them of cultural and heritage items displayed in a contemporary visual language.The visual elements and principles also themes create a sense of poetic expressionism. I invite the viewer to become a participant in special sacred ceremony.

ARTIST STATMENT Oriental Memory Nasser Palangi

Oriental Memory

Every family and countries have their own heritage, history, objects, patterns and culture.

I Try to create the personal vision to tell the middle East’s visual stories by using mixed media techniques to bring heritage and history to life. These artworks have been created to offer the audiences insights into the nature of memory and how it might be articulate in a heritage, history, everyday life and family stories. I will continue with the process of travel and research looking for information related to the collections of forms and colors of the Middle East, applying advance patterns studies meaning and concepts, selecting the forms and color to explain aspects related to, heritage, nature, objects and motives to create an identical artwork related to the Middle East culture and history. My Artworks explores the possibilities of alternative narratives in the visual culture of today. Visual narratives are pointers to collective memory and collective unconsciousness. the series summarizes several approaches to explore narrative forms in order to tell a story or form some visual pattern. I have Applied appropriate composition including size and proportions, foreground, middle and backgrounds to achieve depth and Layers. I have practice with the methods of creative imagination and illusion by using variety of style and techniques and have experimented with different materials on different ways to present my feeling and Idea in this series which called: “Oriental Memory”.

REVIEW Oriental Memory

Dr. Mona Kamal Ismail

Oriental Memory Oriental Memories offer a rich collection of the exquisite culture and heritage of the Middle East. The magnificent series of artworks reflects the travel and accumulation of research of Dr. Nasser Palnagi. The investigation, exploration, and experimentation of symbolism in relation to historical references yielded unique artworks. Dr. Nasser Palangi uses a distinctive personal technique to reflect his presentation of historical themes into contemporary media. Dr. Palagi’s utilization of diverse media with subtle strokes create distinctive harmonious compositions. A unique approach to create poetic expressionism through the use of art and design principles is evident in his series. Creative imagination and illusion were skillfully utilized to create layers depth as a result of comprehensive studies. Dr. Nasser Palangi symbolism and contemporary visual language intrigues the viewer to investigate further the meaning and depth of the art works. His contemporary visual language of reviving history contributes immensely to the art field.

REVIEW Mystery, Beauty & Forms Afra Talal Tarik Al Said

Mystery, Beauty and Forms

We’ve all heard someone say, “God works in mysterious ways…”

Today I consider myself lucky to had crossed paths with Dr. Nasser Palangi, I’ve noticed some incredible detailed Art work at their stall that he had painted, who nobody can deny his passion is on another level. His pencil, paint brush strokes and shadows bring life to his work, as if composing music in his mind, like a melody that takes you back in time and walks you through this journey of mystery, beauty, and form. You can see through the colors he uses hues that remind you of the past, or of your pastIn all his work he follows simple principles that have unity, contrast, shape, emphasis, movment, repetition and rhythm. This gives me an idea that he loves sharing, and having soul connection with life. Dr. Nasser admires hardship, he learned so much from great scientists, master artists, and poetic philosophers that didn’t have it the easy way in life, and even in their perfection they were never completely satisfied because of their infinite possibilities of growth. As his student, i learned so much from his teachings, he guided me to be more intuitive with not only my soundings, but with myself as well.

Thank you for being my mirror. Afra Talal Tarik Al Said Artist & Art Collector

REVIEW

Ritual of Love

Moataman Mohammed Kamali Al Kamali

Ritual of Art

t first, I would like to thank Dr. Nasser Palangi for his release of Oriental Memories series that speaks of the middle east throughout his paintings. His work captivates the history, tradition, and memories of his country home Iran. When I first saw his work, I could see how much colorful, filled with life, love, and harmony in each of his paintings. Each work tells a story, a story of love, hope and happiness. Nasser Palangi addressed his audience on what he truly felt during the war in Iran through his paintings. Whenever we meet for coffee and chat, I could see an endless tale through his eyes projected in his arts. Seeing him getting into a certain artwork, disconnecting with the presents, and sailing throw a million waves of memories and harmony, how he combines different colors and patterns just to make a jewel of the Arabian Peninsula. Whenever, I look at his art works I just get caught now of a thousand nights, a story tale not written by words, yet, painted on canvas by Nasser Palangi. I wish Dr. Nasser Palangi all the success and happiness, hoping that he got peace after completing his series of Ethnic Memories, a true memory that we all cherish, remember and love…

INTERNATIONAL REVIEWS Ethnic Memories

Collective Memories

n Nasser Palangi view art can be used as an escape, especially into the past in his own works, which is a form of collage using symbolic mostly Islamic subjects. The feeling is quite contemporary.” By Helen Musa, Sunday Times, ACT, AU, March 21, 1999. “The works of modernity, the work of Palangi show a continuation of ancient traditions and themes in contemporary media, composition and style. His ‘’Memory” series addresses the past in finely executed collage, using symbolic subject, old Persian manuscript and photographs of people who lived 150 years ago”. By Salam Cultural Museum, Seattle, May, 2000. “Everyone has a history, whether of family, community or nation. These different histories can be seen as a series of stories, each story evoking a theme and feeling.Nasser Palangi is Iranian artist. The centerpiece of his work is a series of collages that use photographs and artifacts of Iranian history to evoke themes of the past. For Nasser collage is a way to represent the feelings evoked by history independent of specific events” By Folk life in the school, Seattle, Wa, USA, 2000. “The works of modernity, the work of Palangi show a continuation of ancient traditions and themes in contemporary media, composition and style. His ‘’Memory” series addresses the past in finely executed collage, using symbolic subject, old Persian manuscript and photographs of people who lived 150years ago”. By Salam Cultural Museum, Seattle, May, 2000. “His Art, which is the past, has addressed Iranian history and rural life”. By Mark Ramirez, Seattle Times, WA, USA, Sep, 15, 2000. “Viewing the past through the lens of modernity; Nasser Palangi recreates ancient oriental art forms using the techniques of and structure of 20th century. “ By Sudha Chandran, Panorama, Gulf Today, UAE, Dubai, 4-10 Feb, 2000. “The memory collages of Nasser Palangi represented in “sacred ground” are at once external to and entwined with the concerns of the exhibition.Their subjects are nomadic people of Iran, whom Nasser encountered during travels through the country over the period 1991-2000.The ground beneath the feet of nomad people is the fabric of their clothing, a continuum with the land which they know intimately. It is a fabric which refers to the magnificent carpets the nomad weaves, telling of the mystical geometric patterns of the universe and of

the garden of paradise paradise which the weaving of the carpet brings done to earth. but the fabric on which the nomads stand is the fabric of the poor, of those who have been unjustly treated, and the subject’s lookout at the viewer staunchly; demanding the justiceThat is their due”. By Christine Watson, curator Sacred Ground Exhibition, ACT, AU, April, 2004. Past and future intermingle; “this is quite a large exhibition, which contains work created since 1999 and although some of it has an aesthetic charm and stylish professional design quality.” By Professor Sasha Grishin, Canberra Times, Wednesday, April 6 2005. “In Ovidian fashion, Palangi’s images engage in a series of metamorphoses across the spectrum of time.” By Prof. Christiane Gruber, Michigan University, USA, 2010. “In his early works Palangi placed life and human struggle for survival at the center of his presentation and consequently focused on close ups of human faces and emotions, emphasizing life, grief and survival. In the new series, in addition to the ongoing human struggles there is a sense of disintegration and an undeniable reflection on lost ideals and dreams. The new works focus on the eradication of human life through war and questions the erasing signs of continuation of life manifested through keeping traditions, identity and heritage in a bleak equation” By Hengameh Fouladvand ©/ Artist/ Scholar/ Executive Director, Center for Iranian Modern Arts, NY, 2010. “It’s amazing that an Iranian/Australian artist and university processor who communicate between Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sydney. Create works from Eamirati tradition, while traditional media selected: Realistic painted Bedouins portraits and scenes from the Bedouins life appear on authentic subjects from palm material and “antique” commodities Bedouin”. By Natalya Andakulova, director of Alif Art Gallery, Dubai, UAE, 2012. “Critically acclaimed and widely acknowledged as the “master of modern Iranian Artists,” Palangi’s trajectory has spanned east and west as he has innovated ambitiously across media. Best known as a Painter, his expansive oeuvre also includes sculpture, printmaking, Photo-media, as well, he is a highly regarded collector, scholar. Based in Tehran and Canberra, Palangi (b.1957) was a leading influence among a generation defined by its commitment to artistic practices that are both modern and distinctly Iranian. Over decades, he has refined a complex system of symbols and motifs into a distinctive visual lexicon, fusing Persian traditions with pop sensibility. As well, his work entwines profound sensitivity to language, formal clarity, and conceptual engagement into a forcefully original artistic practice.” By Aurela Cuku / General Manager of the Artissima Art Gallery, 2015.

Artist Statement

Since the age of twelve, I have been dedicated to the pursuit of visual art. As the details of my CV will show, my contribution to the field of art has spanned many years, many countries, and many projects. My work encompasses a great variety of themes, reflecting my personal experiences of times of war, and of peace. Using a range of artistic styles, I strive to engage the viewer in the themes that are important to me, such as the importance of peace and harmony between people, and the replacement of racism by attitudes of compassion. Apart from continuing as an exhibiting artist in my own right, my role in encouraging and facilitating the artwork of others has always been important to me. Not only art students, but also members of the general public, are included in my efforts to present rewarding artistic opportunitiesto the various communities of which I am a member.

Jotun Company Note: Erik Danielsen

“Dr. Palangi’s ‘Oriental Memories’ marks another milestone in Jotun’s art engagement”

rt has always been viewed as a link between individual and society; and is an expression of undiluted creativity. Because of this, support for the arts has been an innate part of our corporate culture at Jotun Paints. The likeness between paints and art is unquestionable. Both give people the opportunity to express themselves in new and different ways, while exposing them to new ideas. With this in mind, it has always been our tradition at Jotun to foster interaction between the two. To this end, Jotun Paints Oman has supported several renowned artists, art projects, galleries and exhibitions such as Stal Gallery and Cure8. The support to Dr. Nasser Palangi’s - ‘Oriental Memories’ exhibition at The Waterfront Muscat, too marks yet another milestone in our art engagement. Given Jotun’s colour creation legacy of 60 years that encompasses thousands of hues, we truly enjoy Dr. Palangi’s contemporary artwork and appreciate the depth of his artistic talents. His creative heritage and prowess is unique not only because of its artistic qualities, but also because it blends Middle Eastern historical imagery with abstract backgrounds seamlessly and beautifully. His paintings orchestrate brilliant colour composition and visual order to create dynamic effect. All of Dr. Palangi’s paintings have so much to look at - within each abstractions is a little clue or figure that gives you a glimpse into his brilliant mind. That’s not all, just like Jotun’s experts who create a new collection of colours curated to reflect the mood and ideas of the present moment, while drawing from timeless archives; Dr. Palangi’s paintings too follow the same path, and merge old-worldly charm with new-age aesthetics. It is for these reasons that Jotun Paints Oman is pleased to support his masterful artistry, and wish him the best for ‘Oriental Memories’, as well as his future showcases. It is no secret that at Jotun Paints Oman, we work zealously towards the revival and development of partnerships with the cultural community. Given our company’s DNA, we continue to be active in supporting ambitious projects and artists like Dr. Palangi that revive cultural, spiritual and national values; while driving culture, industry, education, and sports in Oman.
