5th Artoonist international Seasonal Festival-Summer 2021 - Iran
The world laughs after this Introduction: Humorous language is a
special kind of speech in the form of an image or text that re-reads the
functional processes of a society in another form. Humor more than trying to
make people laugh; it try to surprise, regret, thinking andcontemplation. The
visual arts have also tried not to be empty of the element of humor by trapping
the lines and shapes in the framing of an image. This image profile, sometimes
in the form of cartoons, sometimes caricature, sometimes photos and sometimes
in the form of posters, has been able to perpetuate pure and memorable framing
of people over time. Just as these picture frames of society make the audience
stand in front of an image, laugh, cry, and fly with it to the depths of their
minds. The existence of a range of visual humor in different formats enable the
artists from all around the world to depict the ignorance of a society in
different forms with their creative view of people's daily lives; Ignorance
that answers unanswered questions of people's minds.
The Artoonist International Seasonal Festival is a popular festival
formed by the policies of a number of prominent cartoonists, photographers and
graphic artists from around the world. This festival has tried to review and
criticize the various events and happenings of the world in three form of
cartoons, news and press humorous posters and posters from the world artist’s
point of view. At the end of all four seasons, the festival tries to sell the
selected works of the artists of the past year in an annual world exhibition in
different countries, in coordination and agreement with the owners of the
works.
Unlike many traditional international festivals, this event makes it
the original selected works to be sold with the artist's signature and the
cycle of art economics, which has been neglected so far in the form of
cartoons, photos and posters, to be formed, and artists in these fields of art
as well. Painters should make a profit from selling their works. It is worth
mentioning that in addition to the works of selected artists, the works of the
judges of each period will be offered for sale at the annual World Artist
Exhibition.
