About Artist:
Ardeshir Mohassess, renowned for his critical approach, emerged as a prominent Iranian designer, illustrator, and cartoonist. From an early age, Mohassess demonstrated a keen interest in visual arts, completing his primary education in literature before briefly pursuing law studies. However, his true passion lay in illustration, leading him to embark on a professional career in this field. Mohassess gained recognition through his contributions to publications like the "Book of the Week" and magazines such as Kayhan and Ettela'at, pioneering a new form of cartooning in Iran. His work garnered international acclaim, with publications in esteemed magazines like the New York Times and Young Africa, leading to numerous exhibitions abroad.
Ardeshir Mohassess's impact on the world of cartoons in Iran was profound, as he delved into weighty and significant themes rather than superficial subjects. Drawing inspiration from historical photographs of the Qajar Dynasty, Mohassess infused his illustrations with humor while addressing the underlying pain and suffering of everyday life. His distinctive style, characterized by vibrant, smooth, and occasionally geometric lines, captivated audiences worldwide. Recognized as a global artist, Mohassess's enduring legacy lies in his ability to intertwine graphic humor with Iranian history, presenting poignant reflections on the nation's challenges and reviving the essence of the Qajar dynasty in his designs.
