Jalal Sepehr. As far as the eye can see

From 26 May 9 July 2016, Officine dell'Immagine in Milan hosts the first Italian solo exhibition of Jalal Sepehr (Teheran, 1968), one of the most interesting authors of the contemporary Iranian scene.
Curated by Silvia Cirelli, the exhibition represents an important opportunity to explore the artistic path of this talented and multifaceted interpreter, collecting a selection of works never exhibited in Italy.

Already appreciated in the international art scene, Jalal Sepehr in recent years has been able to distinguish himself with a very personal expressive imprint, capable of capturing the ambivalences and complexities of the Iranian social fabric, and above all by showing its multiform contradictions. Perpetually poised between the search for modernity and the need to safeguard tradition, Iran remains one of the most fascinating Middle Eastern countries, and its articulated and composite socio-cultural structure, paradoxically it is distinguished by one of the most extraordinary creative vivacity on the contemporary scene.

After various exhibitions in several European countries, Jalal Sepehr finally arrives in Italy with As far as the eye can see, an exhibition project that traces the poetic synthesis of the last ten years of this eclectic artist, focusing above all on those photographic series and on those stylistic modalities that most significantly marked his lexical uniqueness, such as the use of the Persian carpet as a distinctive feature.
