Iran do Kounellis - URSStopia
Recent works (1916)

All around us the fundamentals of life are crying out to be shaped or created. It's a sense of active seeking and scrutiny, the artist uses a quasi-scientific presentation of data; we are forced to explore the question of how the museum consciously or unconsciously perpetuates beliefs and behavior, in both media, drawings as well as paintings, linear segments or surfaces are built through accumulation. The resulting images present abstract forms merging with a visceral landscape, simultaneously appearing to be drawn from such traditions as Islamic ornamentalism or the Ecole de Paris and a futuristic, space-age biomorphicism; in that way it leads us to view the world around us differently.
