Sholeh Abghari Art Gallery presents: “Geometric Perspetive” by Mehdi Nabavi

Sholeh Abghari Art Gallery is delighted to showcase “Geometric Perspective,” an exhibition featuring two collections of Mehdi Nabavi’s recent works: Perspective of Motifs and Portrait Patterns. Mehdi Nabavi, a visionary contemporary artist from Iran, currently resides in the United Kingdom and is renowned for his exquisite creations that transcend conventional boundaries.

A Journey Through Art

Mehdi Nabavi’s artistic journey began with his inaugural solo exhibition in Tehran in 2010, marking the inception of a captivating odyssey through the world of fragmented reflections and ephemeral shadows. His works are characterized by the transformative interplay of broken mirrors and glass shards on wood, inviting viewers into a mesmerizing world of fractured reflections. Nabavi’s art gives rise to a kaleidoscope of shifting images, where light and shadow dance in harmony, encapsulating the ephemeral nature of existence.

Geometric Perspective: A Thematic Exploration

The exhibition “Geometric Perspective” delves into Mehdi Nabavi’s profound inspiration drawn from perspective and traditional architecture. His artistic philosophy emphasizes the importance of how we perceive ourselves in everything and anything we observe. In Mehdi’s own words, “We don’t perceive objects as they really are; we see everything through our own perspective.”

Artistic Techniques and Philosophy

Nabavi was the youngest artist admitted to the Iranian Contemporary Painting Biennale, and his creative vision is distinguished by his innovative use of cut mirrors, UV-printed portraits, sculptures, and both 3D and 2D styles. His consistent exploration of geometric themes demonstrates an ongoing refinement and experimentation, navigating between perspective and geometry.

Exhibition Highlights

Perspective of Motifs: This collection features intricate designs where traditional motifs are reimagined through Nabavi’s unique lens, utilizing mirrors and glass to create dynamic, reflective surfaces that challenge the viewer’s perception.

Portrait Patterns: Here, Nabavi employs UV printing to produce striking portraits that blend realism with abstract patterns, emphasizing the fragmented nature of identity and perception.

Conclusion

Mehdi Nabavi’s art transcends boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the contemporary art landscape. His work is a symphony of visual poetry where fragments of perception and reality converge, inviting viewers to engage in a profound dialogue with their own perspectives. “Geometric Perspective” is not just an exhibition; it is an exploration of the interplay between light, shadow, and the human experience, offering a transformative journey through the mind of a visionary artist.
