>> A1one Iran
“ I change. I do not feel any need to stop and lock in one style.“ |
>>> Please
introduce yourself
... I am 27 years old from Iran, writing
as A1one (Tanha) for 6 years now. Before that I was designing magazine
and book covers as well as advertising and commercial graphics. I simply got bored, then hated, then
quit, then started my own country inside my own country. >>> Your style of work ... I change. I do not feel any need to
stop and lock in one style - yet I am experiencing an learning from each
work. Since 11 years I paint on canvas and
the atmosphere of my work changed every 1 to 3 years. I let
myself get influenced by every one but try not to limit myself or let my
work to be like imitation of any one. >>> Typography is ... Mysterious. >>> How do you
feel about an ever-growing interest and commercial exploitation of the street art phenomenon as new pop culture ? It is great - some collectores buy art
and some artists sell art. But if this happened to change
anything in artists life then he would be the only person who will get hurt. A great artist is who sells and is
doing better all the time while not repeating himself or loosing himself -
which is really hard. Art is not about money but people.
Those who stick to real art are real artists (no matter what the
society or magazines call them). >>> Do you see
your art as universal, as globally understandable ? I do not yet know if it is globaly understandable or seen that that way.
>>> Which aspect of your
work is often overlooked ? While some people care about the diversity, the colors and energy, others contact me, not talking about my work but only about how they wonder about me being Iranian.
>>> What comes next ? Trying to reside in Europe in
2009/2010 for a couple of months to meet online friends, collaborate,
see and learn more.
>>> Any last remarks ? Wish you the best and thanks for
graffiti magazines that urbantactics sent me the last month. |
