Hesam Fetrati (Persian language: :fa:حسام فطرتى; born May 6, 1981 in Shemiran) is an Iran designer, painter, cartoonist, and conceptual artist.[1][2]

He also has several experiences in Art curator group shows and conducting academic art research. The issue of immigration is one of the main subjects realised in his works. The book, Every Artist has the Right to Portray the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a selection of his Illustration published by Mahriz in 2009.[3][4][5][6]

Philosophical ideas and their surrounding issues (i.e modernism, current life, migration) are the main characteristics of his work which are often Narrative art and filled with Archetype, Symbol, and Stereotype. He has mastered, and favours, classic creative mediums (such as various limited edition Prints and Printmaking) with his motivation for adopting this work style being the value of the concept of the "enlightenment", often the foundations of the content and context of his works.[7][8]

Fetrati has held more than twenty solo Exhibition in different countries, including Iran, the United States, and Australia.[9][10][11][12][13][14]

Modernity, modernism in regard to ordinary life, immigration, and ‘tradition reproducing itself’ are some of the Theme|themes that interest Fetrati in creating his Work of art|artworks.[15][16]

Education and Career

After finishing high school, Fetrati completed his bachelor's degree in Visual Communications|visual communications and graphic design in Tehran and established his own studio in the early 2000s. During this decade, he worked as a cartoonist and illustrator in Tehran at Reformism|reformist Newspaper|newspapers and Magazine|magazines such as Etemad-e Melli, Pou’l, and Tanz-o Caricature. His Political cartoon|editorial cartoons in this era are mostly a reflection of the time’s political and societal issues with bitter, symbolic, and metaphorical language.

Hesam migrated to Australia in the late 2000s to pursue, and successfully complete, a master’s degree and a PhD at Griffith University awarding him two highly competitive Scholarship|scholarships. Fetrati’s migration occurred at the same time as the Syrian Crisis|Syrian crisis which had a profound effect on his work due to the forced migration of the many war victims. In four of his collections, Blindness, Severed Roots, There is No North Point and Anticipation, Hesam deals with the issue of migration, aspirations, and hardships.[17] Fetrati spent most of the mid-2010s doing research and academic practice, dedicating part of his doctoral dissertation to researching immigrants and how they adjust to their host community.[18][19][20][21]

Contents, Philosophy and Visual Elements of His Artworks

One of the recurring subjects referred to in Hesam Fetrati’s work is the matter of "enlightenment". The invention and spread of the printing industry were the main inciters of “Age of Enlightenment” in Europe, which allowed artists and thinkers to share their works and ideas with society via mass production. Relying on the historical tradition of the Enlightenment and its concepts, Fetrati has chosen the Printmaking|hand printing method for most of his works. Hesam uses the techniques of etching, linocut, silkscreen, etc. to create his artworks. One of the unique features of his printed works is their large dimensions; for example, some of his works reach the dimensions of 120 x 240 cm, which may be classified as the largest etching plates (limited edition print) in the world.
