Peybak

Babak Alebrahim Dehkordi and Peyman Barabadi are two young Iranian artists who met in a painting course in Tehran in 2000 and graduated from an art school there. While they are not well-known in Europe, they draw inspiration from Iranian poets and stories, and claim to have no specific artistic references.

Their series 'Abrakan' is a fantastical and chaotic world, with the subtitle warning that we are far from the end. The tone is bold and dramatic, and the language used is similar to that found in video games and television shows. This suggests that Peybak's work is addictive and immersive.

To fully appreciate their work, one must be cautious and not get swept away by the grand narrative that Peybak has created. The paintings are full of maelstroms and require a careful approach to fully appreciate their depth and complexity
