About the Item

In 2500 & Counting (2023), Iranian artist Soudeh Davoud (b. 1988) reflects on collective memory, identity, and the representation of women across time. Painted in lush oil on canvas, the work intertwines portraiture and symbolism, depicting a group of women poised against a twilight sky — their expressions calm, dignified, and introspective. Below them, figures in motion appear amidst fields of flowers, suggesting cycles of history, resilience, and rebirth. Davoud’s distinctive painterly language merges realism with allegory. Through richly textured brushwork and layered composition, she evokes the persistence of cultural legacy and the vital role of women as custodians of history and change. The title, 2500 & Counting, alludes to millennia of civilisation and endurance, bridging Iran’s past with its evolving present.

Acrylic paint on canvas Hand-signed Unique work THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS OF MOHAMMAD ARIYAEI " Gentleness and oriental wisdom follow the supercharged bubbling to which we were accustomed from the previous deliberately art brut exhibition by Mohammad ARIYAEI. The Iranian painter's imagination moves serenely from the wildest frenzy to the meditative calm of great, fabulous stories. The artist then took pleasure in pouring the volcanic torrent of his barbaric figures onto the delicate latticework with which he is accustomed to lining his backgrounds with the patience of an illuminating monk. Already sweetness and paroxysm coexisted. Now gentleness wins. The trained imagination of the painter, yet spontaneously bubbling, by instinct as much as by erudition, has no difficulty in reconnecting with the abundant oriental tradition of the thousand and one nights, which, like a long underground river, resurfaces at the light of his painting.

The separation of the beloved Mohammad Ariyaei 21st Century oustider Iranian art
By Mohammad Ariyaei
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic paint on paper Hand-signed on the left « Here the barbaric or savage ceremonies of New Guinea take on the air of Rio carnival. Here the vitality bursts and the colors dance the jig while thundering. A charivari of African masks, children's drawings and neon colors invades the meticulously meshed backdrops with volcanic overflows. It seems that within a kindergarten class, merry feathered wizards have joined together to cover the canvas or the paper with totemic figures strewn with the most inventively unexpected graffiti, in a creative frenzy so bubbling that the anarchy that threat recovers as in spite of itself a semblance of balance. The graphic design performs an enveloping and virtuoso dance that passes from the most wisely academic exercise to the most exuberant and Dionysian lyrical expressionism. It's flamboyant, paroxysmal and wonderfully joyful. Should we detect here any influence of the spirit of "outsider art", today widespread worldwide? Perhaps, but then it is undeniable that the personal temperament of Mohammad ARIYAEI...
