Mohsen Modiri
The subject and style of my artworks
The most of my artworks painted in abstract expressionism style as my favorite style.
Considering that the color is the main mean of my expression, so classifying me as color field artists is possible. The main subjects of my artworks are the earth, motion and stay, all elements related to the nature of human and urbanization. I am using the certain composition of color and motion for expressing the earth as mother and cradle of human , and his social and terrestrial life in abstract form as a type of grounding and enjoy it.

The most important goal of my art is an expression of life and creation of abstract beauty. Usually I Use various subjects ,but The most distinguished subject of my artworks is earth. The modern man such as “Sandra Bullock”, the artist of “Gravity’ movies directed by “Alfonso Cuaron”, separated from the earth as her mother and cradle that causes her permanent and chronic anxiety and tension. In my artworks, I am trying to connect the viewer to the earth in order to return his peace and security which is called “Grounding”. Therefore my artworks are considered as a type of “Art therapy” which detents me and the viewer. The main colors of the earth are red and black, as two strong colors, and gray, dark brown (dark chocolate) in middle degrees which are the main color composition of all my artworks. Orange is the color of waters and oceans which fertilize the land and yellow is the color of sun which warms the earth. In my untitled works, you can see the symbols of earth. In “Mother Gaia as Goddess of the Earth”painting, you can see the “Gaia”symbol in the middle of the picture. “Gaia”is the symbol of earth in the Greek mythology. Other elements which create the “Earth Sense” are falling, gravity and from top to bottoms, motion, ground textures such as sand, gravel, granite and minerals which are mostly used in my artworks. The main form of my artworks are square shape and number four which related to the ground, the social life and urbanization and “house”as other symbol of the earth which can be seen in my “Landscape” and “Buildings” paintings. The modern man became separated from the nature and should be returned to the nature in order to support “the planet of the earth”. It is noteworthy that I was naturalist artist in the past, but I am not now. I saw “Terrestrial life” and “Human” as the highest manifestation of the nature, so I can be classified as a perfect modernist. I am trying to reach a color unity in color composition and take inspiration from the old masters of the Renaissance and Classic periods.
