Exhibition of hyperrealism and footprints in Tehran Museum of Contemporary Arts / Vice President of Art Affairs of the Ministry of Culture: We are trying to remove hyperrealism from the persecution it has become.

According to Fars news agency, Mahmoud Salari, the deputy of artistic affairs of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, said in this ceremony: Jafai becomes a hyperreal style. In art history, it is said that hyperrealism is like photography and the artist has no role in it. But hyperreal should be viewed in the way that it is an alchemy and can be seen in the form of alchemy. In fact, hyperrealism has been persecuted and we are trying to remove hyperreal from the persecution it has been subjected to.

Ebadreza Eslami Kolayi, director of Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, said in this ceremony, referring to the holding of these two exhibitions: We hope to be able to work continuously in a cultural and artistic flow.
