Koorosh Shishegaran is a truly contemporary artist. His works are free from the restriction of cultural, religious or political affiliation and his paintings fulfil no obligations towards traditional Iranian imagery. The intellectual freedom Shishegaran employs in his oeuvre is faithfully reproduced in the freely flowing curvilinear forms he paints. Yet Shishegaran is quick to remind us that whilst his forms may appear arbitrary and random, they are in fact meticulously planned and drawn out at length. This contrast between apparent freedom of form and the actuality of a planned composition reflect the nature of human action itself, where seemingly arbitrary acts are actually merely predestined, determined elements taking place in a causally regulated universe.
