Artwork Description

about this fiberglass sculpture

Hossein Azadi's "Prison of the Soul" series features fiberglass sculptures that delve into themes of entrapment and liberation. The primary medium is fiberglass, chosen for its lightweight nature, strength, and ability to achieve intricate details.

Azadi employs advanced fiberglass sculpting techniques, starting with detailed molds that are later layered with resin and fiberglass material. This meticulous process allows for precise rendering of complex forms, resulting in unique and expressive sculptures.

The sculptures in this series are characterized by textured surfaces, where rough and smooth areas interplay to create depth and complexity. This contrast evokes a sense of confinement and the struggle for freedom, reflecting the emotional and psychological battles individuals face.

The use of fiberglass enhances the versatility of the sculptures, allowing them to achieve dynamic shapes and forms while maintaining structural integrity. Light and shadow interact fluidly across the surfaces, amplifying the visual and emotional impact of the works. Azadi's focus on detail and his powerful expressions merge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary conceptual art, creating deeply resonant pieces.

The "Prison of the Soul" series includes various pieces, each with unique dimensions and editions. For example, one sculpture measures 35 cm in width, 30 cm in depth, and 58 cm in height, showcasing the versatility and intricacy achievable with fiberglass.
