Artist Reviews:
HOWTAN
The Art of Tearing
Presentation by
Achille Bonito Oliva
Photography is, by definition,
the practice of tearing,
tearing off a strip of
reality’s skin, an intentional
reduction of the
three-dimensional world of the
real into the two-dimensional
world of the photograph. But
this subtraction is not ...

Artist Statement for Howtan Re
|
|
|
Howtan, an Architect with an eclectic personality, today he focusses with an incisive expressiveness his talent and passion, commitment and creativity through the camera’s lens.
The artist, of Italian-Persian origin, is starting to make his mark in the international world of art with works that certainly do not pass unnoticed but capture both the gaze and the soul of those who stop to observe them.
All his works are open to multiple meanings and rich in specific messages.
Each work is deliberately presented untitled so as to leave its interpretation open to the personal reflection of each viewer, who is thus called upon to give a voice to each individual creation..
His innovative artistic concept is based on a dynamic vision, rendered by means of a three-dimensional effect produced by the insertion of crystals applied to the photos, which are thus made precious with an extra touch of personality, a unique sign of recognition.
This collection of works is named “Hell and Paradise”, because in conceptual terms it can be referred to the dualism of two opposite and complementary worlds, a dualism present in the spirit and personality of the artist himself.
“Hell and Paradise” marks a very special moment in Howtan’s life, a time of passion on one side and introspection on the other.
On the photographic set the artist reconstructs situations in which feelings and emotions are materialized and exteriorized so as to defuse the drama of inner suffering and experience a feeling of pleasure and liberation. It is therefore an act of self-transformation, in a continuous process of evolution and self-discovery.
