This work pays tribute to gymnasts who, similarly to all other professional sportsmen and women, are a symbol of dedication and achievement. For the artist the gymnast is an inspiration to rise to one’s full potential. The figure moves upwards in the same way as other more abstract works in the artist’s Rise Series, creating a reference to prosperity and success over one’s life struggles.
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.
