About the Item

Bret Reilly’s “Crumpled” series seamlessly intertwines the ethereal essence of Impressionism with the dreamlike distortion of surrealism, blurring the line between canvas and sculpture. These works evoke a sense of fluidity and depth, as he masterfully captures ephemeral moments, while infusing them with a palpable, three-dimensional presence. The crumpled and torn paper surfaces seem to echo the fragility and flawed human experience of each subject, while hanging as mirrors to the viewer to reflect on their own inner and outer imperfect beauty.

Untitled Mohammad Ariyaei Contemporary Iranian art painting oriental art drawing
By Mohammad Ariyaei
Located in Paris, FR
Acrylic painting on paper Hand-signed by the artist lower left 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. Spring renewal of traditions still alive. Systematic filling of space, a sort of oriental version of the Riches Heures...
