Abbas Nasle Shamloo (b. 1983, Iran) is a painter and art educator who holds an MA in painting from Tehran University. He was the selected artist at the 4th Contemporary Iranian Drawing Festival, in 2010, and Baharestan Annual Urban Arts Festival, in 2018 and 2019. Nasle Shamloo's work has been represented by SARAI Gallery at top art fairs around the world including ASIA NOW 2021 and KIAF SEOUL 2022. He was also part of a dual exhibition called "Let There Be Noor" in 2022 at Cromwell Place, London. Abbas Nasle Shamloo's nature evokes a perpetual sense of loss, loneliness, and alienation. His urban landscapes, quiet playgrounds, and somber scenery often depict minuscule solitary figures and wandering animals predestined to fail in finding any solace or shelter either in their built or natural environments. Shamloo's visions are nurtured by long observations and sometimes photography, yet he ultimately prefers to work from memory. His use of acrylics and ink among other media provides him with the immediacy and versatility required for his imagination to pour out freely onto papers and canvases.
