Siah Armajani: Dialogue with Democracy

Iranian-born American sculptor Siah Armajani uses simple sculptural forms to convey complex ideas.

Armajani finds the ideals of democracy embodied in models, chairs, doors, bridges and other objects.

Each piece is a fusion of fine and applied art principles, a wedding of abstract idea and function. Through sculptural forms and architectural structures he seeks to recover art’s connection with ordinary experience.
