Join us for the opening of the first UK solo show of the renowned Iranian artist Afarin Sajedi. Inspired by the last work of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is, the show presents a brand new collection of large unique artworks that portray women and that drive forward the themes, the iconographic taste, and the symbolism enclosed in all Afarin Sajedi’s works. The artist will explore through the universal thematics of love, suffering, frustration, and desire, the significance of humanity in relation to the figure of the woman and the construction and deconstruction of its identity within society.
Afarin Sajedi was born in 1979 in Shiraz, Iran. She studied at the Azad University of Tehran where she received her degree in Graphic Design, and currently lives and works in Tehran. During her childhood, Sajedi has demonstrated great interest and talent in drawing, and thanks to her family, she has been introduced to the Italian Renaissance movement at an early age. This has deeply influenced her style later in life, noticeable in her realistic portraits of gentle ladies resembling Renaissance dames. The artist has been also highly influenced by Heinrich Boll’s Clown and by Gustav Klimt. Sajedi’s creativity, technique and powerful trait ensured her from the start of her career a prominent position in the world of Iranian art.
