In the “We Keep Reviewing” series, Moslem Khezri has paid special attention to the action and reactions between bodies and space. Architecture plays an active part in most of the paintings and drawings of this series and it visually engages with figures. The visual curiosity of the painter here is not limited to the enclosed space of classrooms. He takes a walk among the school building, goes to the schoolyard, records children at the moments of fleeing and playing, a lonesome tree in the corner of the courtyard attracts his attention, and he even draws the automobiles parked at the school entrance. The world shaped around and inside the school contains trivial details which are also the building blocks of a universe. Paying attention to these plain details instead of those familiar clichés in our minds from the schoolyard space indicates awareness of the borderline situations where daily life and streets seem inseparable from the school environment.
