The word "Nasar" (pronounced "nah-sar") in Persian signifies the southwest or west-facing direction. It denotes a building side that receives sunlight in the afternoon and early evening, making it the most favored location for living spaces in traditional Persian architecture due to the provision of pleasant sunlight without the harshness of midday heat.
SARAI Gallery is delighted to announce its inaugural collaboration with artist Narges Fadakar for a solo exhibition entitled "Nasar," running from May 31 to June 14, 2024.
Narges Fadakar, born in 1983, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Persian Painting and a Master's degree in Painting from Tarbiat Modares University. In parallel with her academic pursuits, she further honed her skills in Western painting under the tutelage of the esteemed Iranian artist Masoumeh Mozaffari.
Drawing upon her background in Persian miniature painting, Fadakar seeks to bridge the divide between the past and present by presenting a novel interpretation of the traditional Persian visual language.
