Haft O’Rang Art Studio

 

Last Friday we have two dear guests, one form Cuba and another from Turkey. Ares and Demirci are two famous cartoonists that they’ve came to Isfahan for one day and although was a short time but I could meet them.

Ares is the first South American that I ever meet. I imagined that all of them are sympathetic and attractive men and after the meeting this opinion proved for me. South America with its strange history of art and culture is so attractive for many people of the world. This place is the origin of color and painting and is the paradise for painters and photographers.

 Aristides Esteban Hernandez Guerrero also known as Ares is one of the most famous cartoonists in the world. He was born 1964 in Cuba, a country with well known political history. He experienced the political stress of his country and this situation moved him toward cartoon. But we can see a special softness in his works that in my belief this is strange for a political cartoonist in this special location. His black works with strange characters that are familiar but have came from another world make his style.

 

Ares is a psychologist. However cartoon takes his time but sometimes he goes to the hospital still. Speaking about Ares and his art is more than that I can tell here; I asked from him about himself; he draw an iceberg which a small top part of it was on the water and huge part was beneath it. He introduces herself as a vampire that bite peoples and make herself like them (not make them like her) and think then draw. This is a humanized thought for an artist. This was a great lesson for me. His hands were not of a pleasure-seeker studio artist. I can see the art history of the South America in texture of his hands. Painting is history of South America and Ares is son of the art of South America. He opened his drawing book and I saw many drawing from peoples and places. They were beautiful and powerful; I think that his book was worth millions of dollars.

Hicabi Demirci is a Turkish cartoonist. His white works are different from Ares. He came after Ares and joints us with a meaningful smile. He was a good moral man. I like to speak with him but the different language didn’t let it any more.

The simple characters and color with a professional composition and good thinking subject which drew with powerful lines and thoughtful colors make his style. His white humor with a deep thought that is hid in heart of his works is attractive and with his special style makes him as a famous cartoonist.

Mr. Demirci joints us after a few minutes and we had short time for talking. Although our meeting was so short but their memory will remain in my mind so long.

Finally we reach to time of goodbye. Always goodbye is a sad time but it will come at the end and we have to accept it. Only thing that will remain after this time is many beautiful memoirs.
