Description from the seller
Mehrdad Sadri. Tehran, (1944-2019)
2004
Oil on canvas.
Bottom right: “SADRI 04”. Oil on canvas. 130 x 100 cm
Mehrdad Sadri counts among the formative figures of contemporary Persian-European painting, whose work virtuously fuses traditional oriental mysticism with the expressive forms of Western Modernism. His works are characterized by masterful light handling and a subtle, surreally refined aesthetics of veiling.
The play of unveiling and concealment is one of the central, recurring main motifs in Sadri’s multifaceted oeuvre.
A mature testament to the Wiener (Vienna) phase of the artist’s career, which powerfully manifests the intimate dialogue between Eastern poetry and European painting schools.
In excellent condition; the edges of the outer sides show minimal wear due to handling. There is a light superficial scratch at the upper right on the image. See photos.
Works of this masterful execution and impressive scale are predominantly in private collections and represent a rare opportunity on the international auction market.
