About the work

A pair of figures, rendered in muted earth tones, occupy the centre of a shallow interior space. Thin, translucent washes of watercolor overlap gently, producing a layered effect that both encloses and connects the forms. The deliberate handling allows the underlying cardboard to subtly emerge, contributing to a quiet, diffuse light across the flat surface. The composition is restrained, emphasizing intimacy within a confined window-like setting.

About MOSLEM KHEZRI

Moslem Khezri (b. 1984, Iran) holds an MA in Painting from Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran. With a growing international reputation, he has exhibited widely in solo and group shows both domestically and abroad. Khezri's work has been prominently featured by SARAI Gallery in regional and international art centers such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Chicago, Seoul, Busan, Paris, and New York's prestigious The Armory Show in 2021, where the gallery was awarded the Presents Booth Prize. His art is now part of the renowned Dubai and Abu Dhabi Collections. A figurative artist with roots in southern Iran, Moslem Khezri frequently explores the interplay between the human body and space, employing diverse spectrums of natural light to create delicate atmospheres in his works. His "We Keep Reviewing" series delves into the Iranian all-boys school environment. Beyond mere representation, these paintings illuminate the underlying complexities and hidden narratives woven into seemingly ordinary school scenes. Similarly, "In Between" is another deeply personal yet culturally resonant series by Khezri. It explores the challenges of immigration in Iran and the experiences of his generation, caught between the choices of leaving or staying-a dichotomy that has profoundly shaped their lives and identities.
