About the Item
Soudeh Davoud
Taq-e Bostan, 2021
Colour pencils on paper
70 x 56 cm (27 1/2 x 22 in)
In Taq-e Bostan, Soudeh Davoud reimagines a historic Iranian site through a contemporary, feminist lens. The artist transforms the ancient rock reliefs of Taq-e Bostan — once symbols of royal triumph — into a dreamlike stage where female figures ascend and intertwine in rhythmic harmony. Rendered in fluid, overlapping lines of pink and red, their bodies form a circular composition that evokes both dance and resistance, unity and transcendence.
Davoud’s delicate use of coloured pencils merges figuration with abstraction, creating a scene suspended between the physical and the ethereal. The soft green background suggests both nature and monumentality, grounding the figures in a space of reverence.
By reclaiming a site of imperial power for feminine presence, Taq-e Bostan celebrates resilience, solidarity, and the enduring strength of collective memory.

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. Spring renewal of traditions still alive. Systematic filling of space, a sort of oriental version of the Riches Heures...
