About Sadegh Tabrizi
Sadegh Tabrizi, born in Tehran in 1939, is celebrated as a prominent figure in the Saqakhaneh and calligraphy movement, distinguished as both a painter and calligrapher. Tabrizi's journey in art commenced with the mastery of calligraphy under the guidance of esteemed professors like Kimia Qalam and Ali Akbar Kaveh, followed by formal training in miniature painting at the Tehran Academy of Fine Arts. His educational pursuits culminated in a Bachelor's degree in Painting from the School of Decorative Arts and a Master's degree in Interior Design.

Tabrizi's debut exhibition took place at the Iran-American Association following his tenure in the pottery workshop of the General Department of Fine Arts. Since then, he has showcased his works extensively through numerous group and solo exhibitions across Iran and abroad. Notably, he held a significant solo exhibition at Columbia University Gallery in the United States and has participated in renowned art fairs such as the China Art Fair and Art Basel.

The essence of Tabrizi's artistic expression lies at the intersection of the Saqakhaneh movement, where painting and calligraphy serve as the cornerstone of his creations. It is the fusion of these elements with traditional Iranian art motifs that renders Tabrizi's style truly distinctive. Departing from the conventional norms of Iranian miniatures, Tabrizi's works feature exaggerated proportions of figures and animals, a departure that aligns them closer to the realm of modern art while retaining the essence of tradition.

Tony Korriger, a curator, offers insights into Tabrizi's approach, highlighting his works' aim to transcend darkness and illuminate perspectives. In today's tumultuous world, where myriad crises abound, art serves as a medium for understanding complex phenomena and delving into their historical and sociological underpinnings. Above all, Tabrizi's creations aspire to foster a deeper comprehension of reality, choosing themes of light, love, and peace as vehicles for this exploration.
