Artwork Description

about this Mixed Media sculpture

Silent Song is a bust sculpture depicting a human torso without a head. Instead of a head, a bird emerges, symbolizing freedom, imagination, and the voice of the mind.

The contrast between the solid human form and the delicate bird creates tension and visual harmony. The sculpture explores identity, transformation, and the connection between human thought and nature.

Kahfi’s use of texture and material emphasizes the physicality of the body and the ethereal quality of the bird. The piece invites viewers to reflect on silence, expression, and the invisible energies guiding human life. 

about the artist

Hossein Kahfi is a contemporary Iranian sculptor exploring both conceptual and material dimensions of sculpture. He works with mixed media, metal, wood, and found objects, blending traditional techniques with experimental methods. His practice includes small-scale sculptures, intricate installations, and large-scale works that engage space and environment.

Kahfi’s sculptures explore human experience, memory, imagination, and the complex interaction between individuals and their surroundings. He often uses symbolic forms and textures to reflect cultural narratives and contemporary societal concerns. His work challenges viewers to question perception, environment, and the meaning embedded in everyday objects. Materiality is central to his practice, where contrasts between hard and soft, fragile and durable, create tension and harmony.

Kahfi’s process is meticulous, often involving layering, carving, and assembling multiple elements into cohesive sculptural forms. He emphasizes dialogue between space, object, and observer, allowing his works to transform with perspective and context. 

His pieces have been shown in leading Iranian galleries, reflecting both aesthetic and conceptual innovation in sculpture. Exhibitions include Without Quiescence (2024) and Invisible Palace of Imagination (2022) at Shirin Gallery, Tehran. He also participated in the 11th Annual Exhibition of Small Sculptures, highlighting his continuing contemporary presence.
