Bahman Mohammadi
Biography
Bahman Mohammadi centers his painting practice around existential themes such as human loneliness, memory, and social constructs. Through layered brushwork in oil and acrylic on canvas, he constructs figures that appear isolated and detached—floating in muted backgrounds void of horizon lines. His compositions often feature simplified human and animal forms enveloped by cold tonalities—blues, greens, grays—that reinforce a quiet, melancholic atmosphere. Rather than literal representation, Mohammadi’s paintings evoke emotion through abstraction and psychological resonance. Figures may appear cropped or fragmented, encouraging viewers to sense solitude and contemplation. His irregular arrangements—groupings of small- or medium-sized canvases—suggest fragmented narratives and internal space. Driven by philosophical curiosity about human existence—birth, nurture, societal systems—Mohammadi’s approach is both reflective and conceptual. He deliberately disturbs representational clarity, allowing emotion and atmosphere to dominate over detail. Through quiet gestures and somber color palettes, his work probes the emotional architecture of loneliness and existential introspection. ...
