Iran’s Tabrizi to display artworks in London

TEHRAN, July 20 (MNA) -- Veteran artist and collector Sadeq Tabrizi is planning to display a collection of his calligraphic-paintings at Barbican Center in London in the near future.

Tabrizi has been working on this collection for the past six months. “I will be putting on show 40 large size artworks that I’ve created,” he told the Persian service of MNA.

Barbican Center is a large performing arts center in London. The center hosts classical and contemporary music concerts, theater performances, film screenings and art exhibitions. Its art gallery presents major exhibitions by leading international figures.

“The exact time for the exhibit has not been determined yet. I must first complete the artwork going on display and then submit a copy of them on a CD before determining the timeframe of the exhibit.

Tabrizi is also planning to publish his memoirs about Iranian artistic movements and cultural events he has experienced throughout his life in a book.

Born in 1939 in Tehran, Tabrizi is among the avant-garde Iranian painters. He has held many exhibits in Iran and foreign countries. His exhibit in 1970 was sponsored by French art critic Michel Tapie in Paris.

The artist possesses a collection of glasses, beads and icons of Qajar era, as well as tea-house paintings.
