Inhaltsangabe

From his rich, colourful and uncompromising oeuvre, it's easy to see why Khosrow Hassanzadeh is one of Iran's leading contemporary artists. A former fruit seller and volunteer soldier, he cuts an unusual figure in Tehran's high society art scene. Hassanzadeh works primarily with painting, silkscreen and mixed media, often layering contemporary and historical images with his own texts - philosophical musings, love poems or political statements.
Treating subjects as diverse as the Iran-Iraq war, murdered prostitutes, Iranian wrestlers, and the War on Terror, Hassanzadeh's work offers a visual commentary, at once personal and critical, on Iranian society. Each series of art works is prefaced with an essay by a leading scholar or critic contextualizing Hassanzadeh's work in terms of the global art scene.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Khosrow Hassanzadeh, who was raised in an average family outside of intellectual circles, is perhaps better known among art enthusiasts in Europe and the United States rather than in Iran due to various exhibits of his work outside of the country. Mirjam Shatanawi is curator of Middle East and North Africa at the Tropenmuseum.
