"Happiness Parlor" is a collection of my most recent works about the music of the artists in this field and the related musical instruments which in fact is the sequel of the same satirical sketches of music published as a book named “the symphony of lines” by Ofogh publishers as well as the quarterly magazine “Musical Maqam”.
Want it or not, music is always flowing around us from them moment of birth starting with the song “Happy birthday to you”. It is everywhere in the weddings and mourning, in the festivals, ceremonies, Radio, TV, cinema, and theater, operas and concerts, music classes, in the taxis, buses, etc.
The happiness parlor comes from the endless source of my ideas and subject, and you see only a small part of them here in this exhibition. I have tens of other proposals about music which I will put into practice if I get the chance.
The ink of the sketches you see in this exhibition is still wet. The all have been painted since one month ago.
