About Jalal Shabahangi
Jalal Shabahangi, a distinguished and innovative painter, is celebrated for his captivating depictions of plains and deserts in his artwork. Graduating from the University of San Jose, California, he not only excels as a painter but also extends his talents as a graphic designer, glassmaker, and esteemed professor at Tehran University of Fine Arts.
Shabahangi's passion for painting ignited at a young age, leading him to immerse himself in the study of visual arts. In 1967, he attained a master's degree in Graphic Design from the University of San Jose, California. Subsequently, he became a respected member of the science committee at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Tehran in 1968, where he dedicated over three decades to teaching as a professor and associate professor across various institutions.
The trajectory of Shabahangi's artistic career saw its early milestones with exhibitions at Berkeley University in the United States in 1970 and Qandriz Hall in 1972. Since then, his works have been featured prominently in numerous group and solo exhibitions both domestically and internationally. Notably, he was honored at the seventh biennial of Iranian graphics in 2001, marking a significant recognition of his artistic contributions. Shabahangi's inaugural appearance in auctions occurred in 2012 at the first Tehran auction.
His artwork is characterized by distinctive attributes such as gardens, plains, and trees, serving as symbols of rhythm, structure, and the harmonious interplay between objective and subjective realms. Shabahangi's oeuvre is renowned for its vibrant and meticulously crafted depictions of natural landscapes, particularly hills and scattered trees in the distance. While his landscapes transcend specific geographical locations, they evoke poignant memories of Iran's deserts. His unwavering dedication to a particular method and expression underscores the defining features of his artistic style.
Mehdi Hosseini offers profound insights into Shabahangi's compositions, highlighting their meticulous arrangement of expansive, flat forms that exude a sense of nobility and space. Shabahangi's works are characterized by a profound sense of vastness, silence, and tranquility, captivating viewers with their modern yet serene aesthetic. His creative vision imbues his art with a compelling aura, inviting contemplation and reflection from all who engage with it.
