Farhad Gavzan is a draughtsman, painter, curator and art teacher, born in Babol in 1974. From a very young age, he showed a strong interest in visual arts and drawing. He has held several solo exhibitions both in Iran and abroad, published three books with a collection of his drawings and is tireless in curating exhibitions of emerging Iranian artists and giving lectures on various aspects of drawing in art. Artworks by Farhad Gavzan are housed in several notable collections such as: the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art; the DD Museum Izdeshar; the Pejman Foundation and the Karaki Foundation.In his works we find highly abstract representations of human figures and organic matter. In this work sky and earth in the background are not recognisable, there is no clear division between them. The long brush strokes and uniform colour palette give the viewer a sense of oppression, bewilderment and loss of self. Provenance: the owner had it directly from the artist.
