Born in 1957 in Arak, Iran. Mohammad-HosseinEmad is one of the dominant figures among Iranian sculptors.
Emad attractively and imaginatively materialises his poetic and abstract vision towards existence through unique sculptures and invites his audience to get connected with his personal world and observations through his artwork. The unrefined surfaces of his sculptures and their simplicity are essential characteristics that serve as a real life function.
As a sculptor it is very important to Emad to increase an objective engagement with his audiences. He invites his viewers to look through the artworks, walk around them, sometimes listen to the natural sound made by them, be mesmerised by the designed shadow that is cast on the floor and eventually get lost in the naïve yet very contemporary aura of each sculpture.
His choice of material, the spatial forms he innovatively creates and the way he places them in space all together form his visual and conceptual language. By laying emphasis on void and the complementary connection between lightness and solidity, Emad aesthetically portrays the driving force of nature: the opposite ends of a cycle and the interconnection between contrary forces: empty and full, light and weighty, dark and light, fire and water, high and low, day and night..
