Farshad Farzankia’s large paintings radiate poetic power and vitality. This catalogue is published on the occasion of ARKEN’s major solo exhibition featuring Farzankia, the Iranian born artist’s first show at a museum. For the exhibition, he has created new works that reach far back in time, incorporating centuries of traditions while also examining our own time with a critical eye.
This catalogue presents Farshad Farzankia's wide-rangin works. Through introductions to his works, as well as many poems and an over-view of painting's recent history, the many perspectives of the works are introduced.
