Fereydoun Ave’s art is a freehanded engagement with a personal ethos informed by larger cultural influences. He ceaselessly reflects on various facets of his relationship with age, myths, plants, elements, seasons, moods, and heredity. Drawing inspiration from the Iranian tradition of utilizing the entire surface of the canvas and the Western inclination toward minimalism, Ave creates a unique artistic expression. Within the framework of 'Eco(ed) Visions', Ave's explorations stir us to contemplate art's capacity to fill the void of nature as the urban environment takes over. His works contribute to the re-imagining of futures, where the lines between nature and human existence are blurred, offering hopeful glimpses of the cyclical rhythms of time.
