Esmaeil Rashvand’s exhibition displays blend of Iranian, Turkish culture in calligraphic art
The Gama Gallery in Maslak 42 displays Esmaeil Rashvand’s innovative calligraphy works, integrating traditional Iranian styles with contemporary artistic expressions
Exclusive by Murat Oztekin – Esmaeil Rashvand’s most significant solo exhibition in Türkiye has opened at the Gama Gallery in Maslak 42 since settling in the country in 2019.
Rashvand is one of the prominent figures in modern calligraphy, has mentored hundreds of artists and creates paintings through the art of writing in his works.
As a master of contemporary calligraphy, Rashvand conveys the essence of human nature through the power of traditional calligraphic forms on canvas.
A leading figure in the ‘Nakkasihat’ movement, established in Iran last century and recognized as modern calligraphy, Rashvand offers a fresh proposal to the stagnation in canvas painting with his style rooted in traditional origins and expressed in a contemporary manner.
Over his 43-year career, Rashvand has held exhibitions in Iran, England, Italy and France.
His books on calligraphy and related subjects are still taught as textbooks in Iran.
Curated by Sule Claire Altintas, Rashvand’s personal exhibition will be displayed at Gama Gallery Maslak 42 until May 11.
