Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features an abstract, expressionistic portrait rendered in thick, impasto brushstrokes of vibrant pink hues. The distorted, grotesque features - bulging eyes, elongated nose, and cavernous mouth - evoke a sense of playful whimsy and dark humor. The bold, gestural application of paint creates a dynamic, textural surface that animates the subject, suggesting an energetic and visceral style. While the exact subject matter remains ambiguous, the work's raw, uncompromising approach reflects the artist's intention to challenge conventional notions of beauty and representation in contemporary art. ...

Farrokh Mahdavi
Artist
Farrokh Mahdavi
B.1970, Iranian

Farrokh Mahdavi (b. 1970, Tehran, Iran) is a prolific painter. His works can be distinguished through the use of unique pinkish hues. His technique aims to reach "a more material meaning" by "omitting the impurities", defamiliarizing the well-known facial elements, and crossing over "cliché definitions". His works emphasize the fleshy-pink color, a color that covers his figures and allows the rendering of "a more general depiction of human beings devoid of stereotypes of gender and of race". The faces in Mahdavi's work are reduced to such features as the eyes or the lips, and the rest are covered by thick layers of pink paint, hinting at the emotional world of his characters. He tries to specify forms and conditions without directly depicting anything additional to that as he believes it deviates from the main point. ...
