Kambiz Derambakhsh
They were preparing for a group exhibition in the gallery when they realized that Kambiz Derambakhsh; a famous Iranian cartoonist is sitting in the gallery. He’s a master at work with renowned artwork full of inspiration, talking with him was very exciting for them. And he told them about his concerns for making a number of sculptures and they planned to talk about these ideas in the upcoming sessions. This was the beginning of a friendship between Mitra, Mohsen, and Uncle Kambiz and with each passing day, their bond became stronger. Henceforth Kambiz had a significant effect on them as a cartoonist, he executed his ideas using a simple tool which was a pen and paper while sculptors spend a lot of time and effort creating a sculpture and must be considerate of the subject. And have to create less artwork because of limitations compared to 2D artwork.
They always do the sketching and sculpting of their sculptures themselves; for example, on the table with hot peppers and under the table fire extinguishers, seems like a simple idea but very different execution and they tried so hard for Kambiz’s character to be seen throughout the artwork. After creating these three artworks which received great acclamation from Kambiz’s fans during another session, Kambiz recommended creating the clown collection as a collaboration. It didn’t take a while that the sculptures to be completed and they were met with Kambiz’s approval and they were supposed to showcase the new sculptures in an upcoming gallery. Kambiz Derambakhsh was diagnosed with Corona in November of 2021 and passed away three days later in a hospital.
Their last conversation with Kambiz was about a session in the forthcoming week in which they
would’ve showcased the clown sculptures.
