Ayyam Gallery DIFC, Dubai, is pleased to announce Passing the Crisis, an exhibition of new oil paintings by Iranian painter Rezvan Sadeghzadeh.
Sadeghzadeh’s new works directly address apprehension, hope and fear. Anonymous female figures stand alongside oversized rocks and boulders, often dwarfed by these monolithic forms. Stones appear repeatedly throughout his paintings; they are not used merely as peripheral elements in a formal still life, or as background props in a landscape, but rather as organisms with a life and energy of their own, sometimes appearing centre stage to be studied at close range.
