MARZBAN NAME

Rowżat al-‘oqul/ Moḥammad b. Ḡāzi Malaṭiawi "Marzbān-Nāma" contains Amir Kabirnejad's constant preoccupations, which are expressed in the usual language of his works; but this time more directly and explicitly. It may be strange to use the adjective "explicit" for symbolic language and allegorical and abstract images; but in these works, Kabirnejad has gone to one of the oldest themes in Persian literature and one of the most important texts of this theme "Marzbān-Nāma".

Apart from the fact that in his style of work, the artwork becomes a kind of "image" that does not correspond to the boundaries of today's disciplines and has revived something from the past of our visual arts; and in terms of theme, like the constant links between traditional Iranian art and literature, he has gone to one of the most important texts of didactical literature left from ancient Iran. The main theme of this book is the way of righteous governing and includes the text of anecdotes from ancient Iran to the period of Khosrow Anoushirvan.

Kabirnejad has been preoccupied with the current condition for at least more than a decade, but in allegorical language; What about the "tree of knowledge" or combinations reminiscent of the celestial garden? This allegorical language is reflected in its visual work in the form of an abstract image. His cut- outs appear consistent with Matisse's in terms of material and cutting, but differ in their spirit. In his work because of superiority of the linear quality and the removal of the surface, there becomes a quality in which its materiality fades.
