About the artist: Born in Ahwaz, Iran, Sabzi started painting at the age of twelve and was encouraged in
his early progression as an artist by his parents and inspiring teachers. He earned a Bachelor of
Science in Agricultural Engineering at the University of Jundi Shapur. “The best part of agriculture was
the purity of its primal spaces,” he says, explaining his early sensitivity to artistic concepts.
Sabzi’s early works were primarily realistic, exploring the historical and cultural themes of his
homeland. His departure from Iran during the Khomeini regime brought him to Germany and then the
United States. This exile provided him the opportunity to explore new artistic influences, and he began
to work in abstract and figurative styles.
MODERN GODDESSES
Sabzi’s subjects are almost always women -- beautiful, graceful, taciturn and melancholy; they reflect
love, mystery and solitude. His women are Madonnas, modern goddesses and martyred saints whose
elongated forms suggest instability and internal conflict. According to Sabzi, their anonymous faces
make them into religious icons that transcend and defy the demands of reality -- reflecting warmth,
charm, happiness, and his undisputed love and admiration for women.
His paintings resonate both Eastern and Western philosophies. His rich Persian heritage provides him
with ancient images, sentimental Persian themes and memories of innocence. He draws from the
Western influence of modernism found in the works of Klee, Cezanne, Matisse and Bonnard.
A QUEST FOR SPIRITUALITY
His debt to modernism, especially to Matisse, is irrefutable. Earthy hues of pale greens, yellows,
purples and reds illuminate the settings and inspire the forms with unique inner vibrations. Though
schematic, the treatment of the human face as luminous geometric planes is a profound statement of
the artist’s quest for spirituality.
Sabzi goes beyond Matisse and creates spatially-revolving, post-modern worlds. Images reflected in
mirrors assume a life of their own. The effect is a powerful multiplicity of emotional representation. Here
the fantastic is treated as ordinary and the rich fabrics of the paintings resonate intimacy.
An accomplished abstract painter, Sabzi’s passion for the spiritual is represented in the open spaces,
symbolism and intricate patterns that make up the backgrounds of his compositions. Juxtaposing the
complex feelings, body language and attitudes of his predominantly female figures against a backdrop
of shapes and forms in space, Sabzi uses texture, lines and color to make artistic statements about
love and beauty.
