Description
A monograph dedicated to one of the main figures of the Iranian contemporary art scene.
Shahriar Ahmadi is one of the leading exponents of the new Iranian art. Forty-something, he has been able to elaborate a painting style that visually represents the crossing between the Middle East and the West, in the purest spirit of the Persian tradition.
The Sufi philosophy of Rumi together with the Existential Western Philosophy meet in the large canvases that Ahmadi has been painting since the mid-nineties: great pictorial cycles of a figurative expressionism Persian that combine imagination with symbols and meanings of a globalised world.
Shahriar Ahmadi was born in 1978 in Iranian Kurdistan. Once he moved to Tehran, he studied Western modern painting and the philosophical currents related to Sufism. His first solo exhibition dates to 2000 at the Barg Gallery of Tehran. His international recognition was sealed by his participation in exhibitions at the AB Gallery in Luzern in 2014, at the Etemad Gallery in Dubai and culminated with the Iranian Pavilion at the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale in 2015.
