Reza Ghanad: Coloring Book
International House Philadelphia
March 14th - May, 2012
What might be taken for a precocious genius is the genius of childhood. When the child grows up, it disappears without a trace. It may happen that this boy will become a real painter some day, or even a great painter. But then he will have to begin everything again, from zero. – Pablo Picasso
Ever since going to art school, I began to envy the child that sits with crayons, and colors. It makes no difference if the child carefully fills in the shapes, making sure to not cross the line, or scribbles recklessly around the page. What matters is the free expression of the inner instincts of the young artist.
This series of drawings, the accompanying books, and the participatory project is my attempt to regain the fun of childhood but be honest about the “grown up” artist I have become.
