Despite differing backgrounds and trajectories, both artists share a common interest in reinterpreting traditional techniques from their respective countries of origin through a contemporary lens.<\/p>\n<p>Their work is characterized by layered forms and vibrant color compositions, where painting techniques serve as a foundational element. While rooted in distinct cultural contexts\u2014Japan and Iran\u2014their practices reveal convergences in approach: a dialogue with traditional narratives and artisanal methods, and a simultaneous engagement with the tools and possibilities offered by the digital present. Experimentation, in their case, is not an end in itself but a coherent means to articulate a personal vision and conceptual rigor.<\/p>\n<p>Kenta Cobayashi (Kanagawa, JP, 1992) lives and works in Tokyo. His practice centers on photography, video, and virtual reality, exploring a digital aesthetic in which the pixel and its manipulation play a pivotal role. In recent years, he has presented solo exhibitions such as Live in Fluctuations, Little Big Man Gallery, Los Angeles (2020); CALENDAR, People, Tokyo (2020); and Photographic Universe, Fotografia Europea, Reggio Emilia (2019).<\/p>\n<p>Hiva Alizadeh (Kerman, IR, 1989) lives and works in Tehran. He began his career writing and directing experimental films and documentaries before shifting his focus to sculpture and installation. Drawing inspiration from the decorative traditions of Persian carpet weaving, he combines new media with ancestral craft. His work has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions including If Walls Could Talk, The Flat \u2013 Massimo Carasi, Milan (2022); The Flat\/Sarahcrown booth, UNTITLED ART, Miami Beach, USA (2021); and Stranger in Town, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, Berlin (2019).<\/p>\n<p>Press Kit:<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1h3jUysCEwoVkOhAT6fbQ_-cQjKMAOa7q\">link<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Structure of a Flow<\/em><br \/>\nApril 6 \u2013 July 22, 2022<br \/>\nMetronom, Via carteria 10, 41121, Modena <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Structure of a Flow is a two-person exhibition featuring artists Kenta Cobayashi and Hiva Alizadeh, whose artistic practices span photography, painting, and installation.
