Farhad Moshiri - 2 volumes - Beau Livre

Internationally recognized for his innovative approach in the Neo-Pop style, and as one of the most prominent figures of Middle Eastern Contemporary Art, Farhad Moshiri has become well known for his ironic interpretations of hybrids between traditional Iranian forms and those of globalized consumerist and popular culture. Utilizing a repertoire of mediums, candy colors and tools, Moshiri critically examines pertinent contemporary issues and plays with the codes of modernism, while developing a flamboyant iconography.
Beyond the confines of pure aestheticism, Moshiri continues to provide a unique perspective through playful irreverence and layered complexities in his work. Gathering approximately 160 works, this double volume monograph approaches his work thematically and chronologically, and includes early works that have never before been published, along with critical essays by contributors Dr. Maryam Ekhtiar, Negar Azimi, Aram Moshayedi and Vassilis Oikonomopoulos.
