Reza Derakshani: I Paint Your Grace, I Paint Your Pain, I Paint Love
Selected Works From 10 Different Series
Edited by Necmi Sönmez. Text by Alistair Hicks, Olivia Sand.
Inspired by Persian cultural heritage, Derakshani translates poetic and musical motifs to his kaleidoscopic mythological paintings
Iranian painter Reza Derakshani's (born 1952) style is characterized by a light scraping technique, greater exposed areas of unprimed canvas and the introduction of textual traces. His subjects are figurative but allegorical in their representation of motifs from Persian culture across mediums such as illustrated manuscripts, poetry and music.
