Farrokh Mahdavi
Painter
Location: Tehran (Iran)
Iranian painter Farrokh Mahdavi employs characteristically thick layers of paint and fleshy pink hues to create portraits that render more generalised depictions of human beings – free from stereotypes such as gender and race. A self-taught painter, Mahdavi lives and works in Tehran. His work has been exhibited in major exhibitions including Palais De Tokyo, Paris’s City Prince/sses in Dhaka, Lagos, Manila, Mexico City and Tehran, 2017, and the Iranian Pavilion of the Venice Biennale in 2015.
