What sets Moslem Khezri apart is the intimacy of his source material: before gaining international recognition, he was a high school teacher in Iran. Drawing from his daily life, he turned his lens toward his own students, transforming routine classroom scenes into deeply evocative art. Khezri was captivated by the natural geometry of the school environment, the structured rows of desks, the rhythmic division of space, and particularly the warm, unfiltered sunlight streaming through colorful curtains. Through his realistic technique in oil, watercolor, and colored pencil, he elevated a quiet, often overlooked world where young boys navigate the delicate boundaries between discipline and freedom, isolation and camaraderie.

His breakthrough series, We Keep Reviewing, captures these fleeting collective experiences with striking emotional depth. Critics often compare the subtle theatricality and quiet melancholy of his indoor compositions to the works of Honoré Daumier, yet Khezri avoids harsh commentary. Instead, he focuses on fluid body language, passing moments of humor, and the unspoken social bonds between students. His paintings do not just depict a physical classroom; they tap into a universal atmospheric memory of youth, capturing what Khezri describes as the delicate threshold between pleasure and restraint, opportunity and limitation. Similarly, In Between is a deeply personal yet culturally resonant series that explores the challenges of immigration in Iran and the experiences of Khezri’s generation, caught between the choice to leave or stay, a dichotomy that has profoundly shaped their lives and identities.

Today, Khezri stands as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Iranian figurative art. His paintings have earned major international accolades, including the prestigious Presents Booth Prize at New York’s Armory Show, and are held in major public and private collections across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In an era marked by deep societal transitions, his art offers a poignant reflection on his generation, those caught in the profound choice between leaving or staying. Through gentle light and soft, layered tones, Khezri continues to craft a quiet visual sanctuary, preserving the fragile warmth of human connection amidst an ever-changing world.

Born in Tehran, Faezeh Zandieh began her academic journey studying architecture before fully devoting herself to the visual arts. After mastering oil painting and manual printmaking, her focus turned sharply toward human anatomy and the intricate psychological forces surrounding the physical body. In recent years, her raw talent and compelling compositions earned her national and international acclaim, including winning the prestigious KHOR Art Initiative in 2023 and participating in a residency supported by the Bullukian Foundation in Lyon, France.

What makes Zandieh’s work particularly captivating is her unique thematic perspective. Rather than adopting a conventional gaze, she uses her brush and etching plates to enter and expose the unvarnished world of male vulnerability and aggression. Her series, Gozar (Passage), was born out of a real-world encounter when she accidentally witnessed a violent street fight between men. This sparked a profound artistic investigation into the systemic pressures of masculinity, depicting men caught in perpetual conflict, fragile brotherhoods, and heavy solitude. Through sprawling physical landscapes and intensely raw figures, she captures a heartbreaking tragedy: how rigid societal expectations force men to suppress their inner selves.

Today, while continuing to develop her art in France, Zandieh’s work resonates deeply against the backdrop of the complex realities of contemporary life. Her narrative is not one of mere criticism, but of profound empathy and human connection. Whether working with delicate copperplate etching or bold oil canvas, Zandieh invites viewers to look beyond surface-level hostility and recognize the universal longing for understanding, healing, and peace in an increasingly fractured world.

Born in the borderland city of Zahedan, Iran, Ayda Roozbayani grew up in close proximity to the striking landscapes of Chabahar and the industrial oil hubs of the south. Living along these geographic and cultural thresholds profoundly shaped her artistic lens from an early age. She observed firsthand the quiet tension between human vulnerability and massive industrial developments, where local workers and figures maneuver through harsh border realities to survive. Roozbayani carried these lived experiences through her formal academic training at Alzahra University in Tehran, earning her BA in Painting in 2018 and establishing herself as a compelling figurative painter dedicated to exploring human solitude.

Her body of work seamlessly blends classical realism with a cinematic, dreamlike atmosphere. Utilizing layered oils, acrylics, and collage, Roozbayani builds her compositions from photographs of real locations, from the rocky coastlines of southern Iran to the lush topographies of Lorestan which she gently dissolves into surreal, timeless environments. Water acts as a central motif across her canvases, serving not merely as a decorative landscape element, but as a silent border separating her figures from one another and from the world around them. Her paintings capture contemporary subjects in states of emotional disconnection; individuals lounge side by side on ancient rocks yet remain absorbed in their smartphones or lost in silent contemplation.

In recent years, Roozbayani’s practice has gained significant momentum on the international stage. Following her inclusion in the KHOR Art Initiative in 2022, she made her global debut at Untitled Art Miami Beach in 2024, followed by acclaimed solo exhibitions such as Edges (Karanehha). Working from her studio in Iran amid continuous regional uncertainty, her art offers a profound, unhurried meditation on how individuals adapt to instability. Rather than dramatizing crisis, her understated compositions capture the quiet beauty of human endurance, transforming the feeling of living on the margins into a universal story of modern life.

Sadegh Khalife(b. 1983) is a self-taught painter born and based in Shushtar, Khuzestan province, in southwestern Iran, and the founder and director of Shavadoon Gallery. He has held several solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group shows and art festivals across the country including The 9th Fajr Festival of Visual Arts at Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art (2016), and The 11th Annual Persbook Contemporary Art at Iranshahr Gallery, Tehran (2022). His most recent solo exhibition “Imagination Breaking” was held at Sareban Gallery, Tehran (2021). Khalifeh’s keen interest in machinery as forms, and abundant references to systems and part-industrial hybrids in his visual language come from his 17 years of work in the industrial sector. Khalifeh’s art is nurtured and guided by the collective memory of the local people who have witnessed turbulent times from the rapid industrialization of their land to the devastation of a long and tragic war and the deep marks left by these events on a once-rich and diverse environment and its famously warm and generous people. Khalife’s deep environmental and social concerns are reflected in the endless tango of domination between the rigid, fuming bodies of manmade machines and structures and a large, formless piece of striped industrial canvas wrapping itself around them like a giant, voracious boa.

Neda Kashani (b. 1983, Iran) holds a BA in graphic design. She began her artistic experiment by line drawing using pencil and ballpoint on paper, and most of her works were nude body figures. Since showing nude figures has been banned in Iran, she began working on her latest series called “Scissors” in 2011 by painting scissors in form of still life using acrylic color on canvas. In the beginning, the compositions were often inspired by figurative arts, but ultimately the figures in the shape of scissors turned into an allegory for censorship. Her ongoing series is inspired by society and the artist’s life conditions such as the limitations and challenges she had endured both in her life and art practice.
