Since the revolution in 1979, Iranian artists have been secluded from the
Western world and its culture. Therefore, the artists creativity has been
enriched through their innter vitality, through their search for freedom and
through learning to practice caution and patience in daily life. The focus of
the first exhibition is to bring to international light the emerging creative
stirrings rising from post-Revolutionay supression.
Mr. Nami Petgar one of the exhibiting Iranian painter describes it:
It is as if a small window has been
opened to my
studio and a selection of my works has been put
on display for people all over the
world. Dideh Gallery is a magic window for me,
but I cannot see anything from
inside this window and can only feel that I am
being seen. Special humans all
around the planet see me--that is, my works.
Dideh has provided me with a unique
opportunity. It is a miracle come true.
Furthermore, the contemporary works presented in the first exhibition show
influences of Matisse and the Fauvistes, of the Francis Bacon School, as well
as of Expressionism and Surrealism.
