TEHRAN – Iranian artists Sara Ashrafi and Majid Hosseini will showcase a collection of their paintings in an exhibition titled “Sudoku” in the Danish city of Naestved.
The exhibit will open at the Naestved Library and Citizens’ Service on July 3 and will be running until July 31.
“The exhibit has been arranged at the invitation of the librarian and counselor of the library, Ida Marie Eriksen,” Ashrafi told the Persian service of Honaronline on Monday.
“Hosseini has been living in Naestved and his works mainly are surrealistic. He follows his own specific style and has held several exhibits across Europe,” Ashrafi added.
She also said that her own paintings will be put on display with special frames embellished with intarsia works created by artisans from Markazi Province.
“I need to travel to Denmark a bit sooner to add the frames to the works since they are a part of the artworks,” she added.
The exhibit takes its name from the popular Japanese puzzle game Sudoku, which is based on the logical placement of numbers.
“In this game, the numbers need to be alone and this feeling of loneliness is quite obvious in my works. I think my paintings mostly reflect the loneliness of mankind,” she explained.
