Introduction
Three of the important new wave of contemporary artists from Iran; Sadegh Tirafkan, Morteza Darehbaghi and Behrouz Rae will be showing in London for the first time at Osborne Samuel in June. Each has been invited to respond to one of three exhibition spaces in the gallery and to break new ground with their installations.
Thirty years on from the Revolution, Iranian Contemporary art is fast becoming the means by which young Iranians are redefining their identity in the West. Interest in this area of the art market has been rapidly expanding both in the UAE, where auction houses, galleries and an international art fair have, in recent years, made huge inroads in the cultural scene as now in London, where the works of young talented artists from Iran are also being duly recognized and showcased. In contrast with much of the output from Western studios today, Contemporary Iranian art is particularly special in that its makers demonstrate a profound interest and connection with their rich cultural and religious heritage, albeit redefined in terms of the context of the twenty first century. The results are truly innovative and inspirational and have become highly sought after by international art collectors.
