Abbas Akbari

Abbas Akbari is an artist whose work, following the ideas behind it, takes the form of sculpture and installations in wood, ceramic and metal, as well as painting. Most of his work is research-led, rooted in the history, culture and art of Iran — above all in those parts of it that have been forgotten, which in his view still hold aesthetic and technical value enough to take their place in contemporary life and art and to go on living there, and which he sets out to present through his own projects. These works have therefore always varied in subject, technique and form, yet because of the way he looks they rise from a single line of thought and an unbroken cultural continuity; part of them you can see and read in the pages of this website.
