A subtle and ethereal world made of light threads and intertwined fibres, an universe where an art as ancient as the history of man rewinds millenary and enchanting stories that tell of mysterious and wonderful worlds. These are carpets and tapestries, soft and large flat surfaces to sit on or hang on the walls. Works of expert oriental art with which to adorn our homes and which preserve the secrets of generations of artisans who have used their fantasy and imagination to create a choreography of colors and patterns, giving life to real enchanted gardens. Treasures that for centuries have been handed down from father to son in workshops and laboratories to reach us intact today. In Carpets of Eden, Gardens of Fantasy, the viewer is invited to explore these realms: a pilgrimage through these imaginary gardens where carpets dream and artists awaken the magic that sleeps within them. An exhibition that tells the story of the Oriental carpet and presents it as a model for understanding the art and art histories of ancient and wise cultures.
Eskandari creates her own collection of modern myths that transport us not only through space but also through time. Each work is imbued with specific cultural references and personal emotional experiences, yet the fluid, otherworldly forms and rich color palette also bring us to an imaginary realm where we are free to create our own stories.
From Aesop to Ibn al-Muqaffa' the wonderful thousand-year history of animals in fairy tales: a story where metaphors and teachings are handed down through the centuries and different cultures around the world.
