    Masoud Akhavanjam is an Iranian sculptor working in mirror polished stainless steel and bronze. His artworks, both figurative and abstract, are conceived as a commentary on society and deal with paradoxical themes such as good and evil, the power of the mind over brute force and the constant struggle for a harmonic coexistence. His passion for the materiality of objects and in particular stainless steel commenced when he began assisting at his father’s manufacturing company for household appliances in 1997. 
    Using his in-depth knowledge of the scientific properties of metal, Akhavanjam creates artworks ranging in scale from intimate domestic pieces to monumental works, balancing the inherent strength of the material with the delicacy of the cast form.

    Brief Biography Masoud Akhavanjam

    Born in 1969 in Tehran, Iran, Masoud Akhavanjam was sent to Boarding School in Marburg Germany, at the age of 14. In 1989 Akhavanjam moved to the United States and attended the George Washington University, receiving a degree in Biology in 1995.

    In 2005 he received an Executive MBA degree from the Kempten University of Applied Science in Germany. From 1997 to 2011 Akhavanjam managed the Design Department at his family’s Iranian manufacturing company for household appliances. During his high school years he took a sculpture class to make ceramic sculptures. He made hundreds in the 80’s, some of which were sold. Later with the knowledge he had gained through the manufacturing and the interest he always had in sculpture, he established his own workshop, making his first bronze sculpture in 2011.

    ‘Charred’

    There is something remarkable about the action of burning of wood. The process holds an internal attention in us all. Seeing and feeling the heat of fire has a timeless enchantment.

    Burning the surface of wood, changes its properties and actually creates a protective barrier. Shou Sugi Ban 焼杉板 (or Yakisugi) is an ancient Japanese technique that preserves wood by charring it with fire. Traditionally, Sugi wood (Japanese cedar) was used, the process involved charring the wood, cooling it, cleaning it, and finishing it with a natural oil.

    To this day, this process is still as environmentally friendly and one of the most effective ways of preserving wood.
