Farrokh MahdaviUntitled
About the Item
Farrokh Mahdavi (b. 1970, Tehran, Iran) is amongst the cutting edge painters of his generation in Iran, with his work being shown in over thirty exhibitions in Iran and abroad. Farrokh's works are easily distinguished with their unique pink hue and recognizable technique. As he once said about his portraits, Farrokh aims to reach “a more material meaning” by “omitting the impurities”, defamiliarization of known facial elements, and crossing over “cliché definitions”. Farrokh Mahdavi's work has been presented at the Iranian Pavilion in Venice Biennale. Farrokh Mahdavi’s body of work encounters an unbiased tragic perception in figures and faces with total disregard to certain caste or strata of society. The people in his paintings are all victims of similar circumstances. Movement of color in most cases both conceals and damages. The physicality of color material has an active role in destroying and invading the figures; the whiteness and flatness of the peripherals induce psychological and visual pressure to further infuse such an expression. The metaphorical use of color and avoiding symbolism give room to the viewers to extend their personal interpretation of his works.
