Nariman Farrokhi was born in Tehran, Iran in 1985. He has created a unique approach to language, using words for visual impact,
favouring simplicity and directness. He is a self-taught artist who has a fascination for primitivism and mythological topics. Even
though his choice and application of colour seems to be quite meditated, the quality of his shapes doesn’t fall short of any spontaneity. He has abandoned/unlearnt any kind of academic
convention. He is an artist that draws substance from his unfiltered instinct. Totems, cows and dogs are repetitive themes. Unusual, unconventional surfaces are not dismissed. This openness not only seems to convey his personal dedication to freedom but allows the viewer to be freed as well from any artistic preconceptions.
