  • Morteza Pourhosseini "The Circus 1" Oil and Acrylic on Canvas 2013
    Nov. 17, 2020

    Morteza Pourhosseini "The Circus 1" Oil and Acrylic on Canvas 2013

    Est: $25,000 - $35,000

    Morteza Pourhosseini (Iran, born 1985) "The Circus 1" oil and acrylic on canvas, 2013 . Depicting a gorgeous tattooed woman in Safavid armour, and a steel "Allam". An exceptional Iranian Contemporary Artwork. Born in Ahwaz, Iran in 1985, Morteza Pourhosseini has been the recipient of numerous accolades and awards, and his paintings have sold at Sotheby‰ЫЄs London and Bonhams London auction houses as well as to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Highly gifted and a consummate draughtsman, Morteza Pourhosseini's works exhibit a sense of realism and technical dexterity seldom encountered in contemporary art. His works borrow themes from Iran's popular religious imagery which serve as backdrops to portraits of everyday figures. Pourhosseini's work often involves the interplay between people and works of art, this portrayal of "art within artwork" not only demonstrates his extraordinary talent in capturing tonal and aesthetic layering but allows him to create a dialogue between cultural imagery and the people associated with it. In his series, The Circus, Morteza Pourhosseini is taking us to a place where the promise of beauty is easily co-mingled with the terror of power. He presents his dichotomy with portraits of the abusers and also, the victims. With brilliant brushstrokes and a balanced point of view, Morteza Pourhosseini creates characters on canvas who have not only experienced the rapture of religion, but have also had their lives ripped apart by it.
