Gallery Nathalie Obadia is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Brussels of the Iranian artist Khosrow Hassanzadeh. Born in Iran in 1963, Hassanzadeh oscillates between deeply personal art, such as his work relating his experiences in the Iran-Iraq war, and homage to the interior, ornamented life of Iranian people. His work can found in the collections of the British Museum,  London, The Tropen Museum, Amsterdam, the World Bank, Washington DC and he has exhibited widely including the Venice Biennale in the East-West Divan (2009), and several solo and group shows in Dubai, London and Germany.

Khosrow Hassanzadeh creates pop art in the truest sense. Kitschy evocations of his home country's public imagination abound, lit by the glint of fairy lights that evoke an atmosphere of both sanctity and plasticity. He captures a nostalgia for the past and the sentiments integral to the bazaars and traffic-plagued streets of workaday Tehran.
