Mohammad Ghazali is flux artist. Ghazali’s representations reexamine and restructure our habitual perception of reality, that is, they subvert accepted norms and even the most mundane of daily presences. He reveals secondary meanings about all that is mundane, hardly acknowledged, or accepted as metaphysically stable. Ghazali has an uncanny ability to subtly turn the ordinary and daily toward the elusive and perplexing, especially in the Red Ribbon series, the Where the Heads of the Renowned Rest series and in the Tehran a Little Inclined to the Right series. In these works, he challenges metaphysical precepts and forces us to reexamine what we have considered unworthy, quotidian, and readily present. He throws us headlong into the strangeness of the mundane and reveals the mysterious flux of the real. This real, in each and every work, appears in the guise of multiple strata and is, therefore, structurally and philosophically polysemic.
