A Comment by American artist Abigail Doan

Ahmad Nadalian's recent work created with his students and colleagues at the Environmental Art Festival in the Persian Gulf might actually save the world. I believe that every one who experiences these pieces and their environmental optimism, might believe once and for all, that there are indeed solutions to the environmental ills and conflicts that we face in the world.

Dream of Peace in Persian Gulf:  Bicycle Art & Recycle Art  

Print on Sand in Coast by a Bicycle    فارسی

Works by Ahmad Nadalian

As an environmental artist I often use bicycle which is a clean transportation.

2003 , Rhein River (Strandbad & Sillerpappel in Wald Park) Mannheim. 

2007, Bristol,  and University of West England, Nadalian and Yvonne Buchheim

My bicycle at the faculty of fine art- Shahed University

In the middle of January 2009 I traveled to Hormoz Island. I used my bicycle and  realized my new environmental art project.  The tire of the bicycle bears an imprint of the phrase "Dream of Peace in the Persian Gulf" and anybody who rides the bicycle will cause the phrase to be engraved in the sands. 

I was determined to ride a distance over 1400km on the sand. The distance symbolically is equal to the length of the Persian Gulf coast from Khorramshahr to Bandar Abbas.

I made use of an old tire and prepared the letters in English first and later attached them on another old tire of the bike.

I believes that by writing the phrase in English, it will receive wider attention in the media and will more effectively carry the message of the Iranian nation to the world.

I aim to promote culture of peace and preserve the geographical, political and cultural boundaries of my country Iran, and I believe art is the best means to help fight against distortion of the name 'Persian Gulf'.

In early February 2009 many environmental artist traveled to Hormoz Island and we hold the 20^th environmental art festival in Iran on the theme of "Human and Environment".
