TEHRAN -- Typographic posters by a large number of Chinese and Iranian graphic artists are on display at an exhibition in the northern Iranian city of Gorgan.
Twelve artists from Iran and 30 others from China have created works for the exhibit entitled “Chiran”, which opened at Fakhreddian Asad Gorgani Hall on Tuesday.
The exhibition has been organized through collaborative efforts by graphic artists Saleh Zangaaneh from Iran and Li Shuo from China.
“This exhibition was organized to review the potentials of typography in Iran and China as two countries, which enjoy brilliant historical background in Eastern art,” Zangaaneh said during the opening ceremony of the exhibit.
The organizers have a motto: “Chiran is not only a poster exhibition, but also a bridge crossing between two great Eastern cultures.”
Works by Iranian artists Mohammadreza Abdolali, Homa Delvari, Farhad Fozuni, Behrad Javanbakht and Majid Kashani have been selected for the exhibition.
Ming Long YU, Hi Fang, Xa Feng, Zhang Weifeng, and Lo Puji are among those Chinese artists whose works are on show at the exhibit, which runs until March 17.
Chiran will also be held at the School of Fine Arts of Shanxi University in China from March 15 to 20.
