Reza Abedini‭ (‬born 1967‭)‬

An International Conference on the

Philosophy of Art‭, ‬Tehran Museum

of Contemporary Art

2001‭, ‬offset‭, ‬98x68‭ ‬cm

 

Reza Abedini used a photographic

profile of a young man in silhouette

for a collage of type and images to

promote the conference‭.‬ There is also a logo for the conference Art and Thought in the shape of an earring‭, ‬placed separately on the right side of the poster‭. ‬The designer uses layering of Latin and Farsi alphabets‭. ‬He works with the contrast of a dark silhouette and white typography‭, ‬which would

become his artistic idiom‭. ‬The red

frame in the eye area accentuates

the importance of an artist's visual

perception as the basis for the philosophy of art‭, ‬because the human

soul is stimulated chiefly through visual impulses‭.‬
