Artist: Farhad Moshiri

Plenty of Colour featured a great installation by Farhad Moshiri




His installation ‘Life is Beautiful’ showcases a beautiful cursive treatment of the titular expression. Step closer and we realize the typeface is created by hundreds of knives with colourful handles stabbed into the wall atPalazzo Grassi, Italy. I love the juxtaposition of such a romantic type treatment and phrase created out of a violent, dramatic material. So many layers of meaning in this piece…


This is a great example of innovative visualization and alternative ways of communicating information.
