Agora Gallery is proud to
present Iranian artist Nader Abedini, in Deconstructing
Reality.
Woman
Painter by Nader Abedini
Nader
Abedini's artworks include sculpture and
calligraphy in addition to painting on canvas, employing acrylics with oil
pastels. The effects of mixed media and size are dramatic, especially in
conjunction with his striking technique - backgrounds are deeply colored with
restrained palettes, while the centers of attention glow with luminescence.
Nader Abedini’s paintings focus on individuals at quiet moments; movement is in
slow musical notes and physical activity is limited to the sedentary. In
his world, time slows for the pursuit of individual fulfillment.

Born in Tehran, Iran over 40 years
ago, Nader Abedini still considers it home. Its influence
is apparent in his work, which includes sculpture and calligraphy in addition to
paintings. The canvas creations of Mr. Abedini employ acrylics with oil pastels,
and can be quite large. The effects of mixed media and size are dramatic,
especially in conjunction with his striking technique. Backgrounds are deeply
colored with restrained palettes, while the centers of attention glow with
luminescence. That glow is constant, even when the models don’t reflect
glamour and may be too absorbed to even smile.
Nader Abedini’s paintings focus on
individuals at quiet moments; movement is in slow musical notes and physical
activity is limited to the sedentary. In his world, time slows for the
pursuit of individual fulfillment. Does Mr. Abedini wish to reflect
internal calmness, or simply peace within four walls? Are the women
in his paintings satisfied and fulfilled with their endeavors? Only Nader
Abedini knows for sure, and as he says, “Figurative is my
life.”
