Lot 65: Koorosh Shishegaran (Iran, born 1945) Moon and Me,

Moon and Me, acrylic on canvas, signed in English and signed and dated 2009 in Farsi lower left, framed, 179 x 133.4cm (70 1/2 x 52 1/2in).

Shishegaran's simple but energetic signature style reflects the artist's mental picture of modern life. The coloured lines that rapidly twist and curve express mankind's different states of complexity and confusion found in everyday life. The planned but seemingly subconscious movement of the artist's hand across the canvas may also be interpreted as a contemporary deconstruction of traditional Persian calligraphy.
