Problem Statement:
In contemporary times, the art of illustration has evolved into one of the most powerful tools of visual communication. It not only captures aesthetic aspects but also conveys profound philosophical, social, and cultural concepts to its audience. Among the fundamental elements in the creation of illustration art, imagination holds a unique and prominent position. Throughout history, humans have continuously sought ways to represent their imagination, whether through prehistoric cave paintings, myths, and legends or modern visual arts. What distinguishes imagination from other artistic elements is its ability to transcend the limitations of reality and venture into unknown and unseen realms. It is this faculty of imagination that elevates art beyond mere representation of reality and infuses it with new depth and meaning.
Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann are two contemporary artists who have each utilized imagination in their works in a unique manner. Mesghali, through complex visual compositions and the use of colors and forms that often verge on abstraction, creates worlds where reality and imagination are intricately intertwined. Edelmann, on the other hand, adopts a symbolic approach, employing visual metaphors to explore concepts rooted in myths and the cultures of various civilizations (Ahmadi, 2013: 213). Despite their apparent differences in style and approach, both artists use imagination as a means to express deeper and more complex truths.
Contemporary illustration art seeks to cross the boundaries of reality, offering audiences the possibility to access worlds beyond their everyday experiences (Fattouhi, 2006: 34). It must be acknowledged that imagination plays a pivotal role in this endeavor, enabling artists to recreate concepts that may be inaccessible or even inconceivable in the real world. Thus, examining how imagination is manifested in the works of artists like Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann can provide a deeper understanding of this creative process and shed light on the role of imagination in contemporary art.
Research Objective:
The aim of this study is to identify and examine the manifestation of imagination in contemporary illustration art through a case study of the works of Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann. The research seeks to analyze the similarities and differences in the use of imaginative elements and symbolism in their works.
Research Question:
How is imagination manifested in the illustrative works of Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann, and what role does it play in the narrative and meaning-making processes of their artworks?
Research Methodology:
This research employs a content analysis approach combined with case study methodology. Initially, selected works of Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann are examined, focusing on the analysis of visual, symbolic, and imaginative elements present in these artworks. In addition, theoretical support is drawn from primary sources and specialized academic articles related to the topic.
Conclusion:
The works of Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann, despite significant differences in artistic approaches and thematic focus, both embody the creative use of imagination and symbolism within the realm of contemporary illustration. In Mesghali’s works, imagination serves as a medium to recreate cultural and mythological narratives rooted in Iranian heritage. By utilizing rich and culturally familiar symbols such as the Tree of Life, mythical birds, and legendary figures, Mesghali constructs visual spaces that are not only aesthetically captivating but also offer profound insights into Iranian history and identity. His works act as a bridge between the past and the present, presenting ancient narratives through contemporary forms.
The main similarity between these two artists lies in their fundamental emphasis on imagination as a key element in their creative processes. Both artists harness imagination to create new and meaningful visual spaces; however, their application of this element varies significantly. Mesghali looks toward traditions, using historical symbols to reinterpret cultural concepts within a modern framework, whereas Edelmann removes these symbols from their familiar contexts, transforming them into tools for critiquing and reexamining contemporary notions.
On the other hand, Heinz Edelmann utilizes imagination and symbolic language to challenge notions of reality and contemporary culture. His works are not necessarily inspired by specific historical stories or narratives but instead employ an abstract visual language that invites the audience to rethink established concepts and cultural values. Edelmann’s postmodernist approach reflects an effort to deconstruct existing meanings and offer new, multilayered interpretations of reality.
This comparative study reveals that each artist’s approach mirrors their distinct perspectives on reality and imagination. Mesghali, through engagement with historical and cultural roots, endeavors to preserve and strengthen cultural and historical concepts, whereas Edelmann, with his abstract perspective, aims at deconstructing structures and fostering the emergence of new interpretations and ideas. The study of these two artists demonstrates that each, in their unique way, strives to redefine the role of art in contemporary society. Mesghali, by emphasizing cultural roots and traditions, creates a platform for intergenerational dialogue, while Edelmann, by critiquing established concepts, paves the way for the development of new interpretations.
These differences and similarities underscore the essential role of imagination and symbolism as fundamental elements in contemporary art. They show how these tools can create deeper visual and conceptual experiences for audiences. Thus, the overall conclusion is that the works of Farshid Mesghali and Heinz Edelmann exemplify the creative use of imagination and symbolism — artworks that are not only visually captivating but also simultaneously engage the audience in contemplating culture, identity, and contemporary reality.
