Description from the seller
Mehrdad Sadri. Tehran, 1944.
Magic (folded fabric and visage). 2006.
Oil on canvas.
Signed bottom left: “SADRI 06.” On canvas. 120 x 100 cm (47.2 x 39.4 in).
Mehrdad Sadri is one of the defining representatives of contemporary Persian-European painting, whose work virtuously fuses traditional Eastern mysticism with the forms of Western modernity. His works are characterized by masterful lighting and a subtle, surreal refinement of the aesthetics of veiling.
Large-format, monumentally impressive work of exceptional painterly finesse, in which warm gold and earth light piercingly render the photorealistically worked folds and the shadowy visage plastically.
The play of revelation and concealment is one of the central, recurring main motifs in Sadri’s multilayered oeuvre.
An accomplished testament to the Vienna phase of the artist’s work, which impressively manifests the intimate dialogue between Eastern poetry and European painting school.
Masterful fusion of organic woven texture and human physiognomy as an iconographic metaphor for transience, protection and the search for what lies behind.
In excellent preserved condition; the edges of the outer sides minimally rubbed due to the work. See photos
Works of this masterful execution and impressive dimensions are predominantly found in private collections and represent a rare opportunity on the international auction market.
Seller's Story
Art dealing has been in our family: my grandfather was an art dealer, and my mother is an antique dealer. In 2017, I continued this tradition and founded the Antoni Art Dealership—with the goal of making high-quality European art accessible to a new audience. Since then, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to trading paintings from the 19th century to the present. Our portfolio is complemented by our own gallery for contemporary art, where we present and promote current artistic positions.
Our expertise, cross-generational experience, and a carefully curated selection make us a special address for collectors, art lovers, and the curious.
