Lot Essay

‘My mission in life was always to escape reality, and art was going to be my ticket. When I sense my work looks too serious, I feel I can’t breathe and have to poke a few holes in the canvas to let the hot air out’ (D. Nasser-Khadivi & F. Rahim Ismail, Farhad Moshiri, Milan, 2016, Vol. I, p. 52).
