EXHIBITIONDEMONS : A MINI-RETROSPECTIVE ON ALI AKBAR SADEGHI April 24th - June 6th

Kamil Art Gallery is delighted to present the first Monaco exhibition dedicated to Ali Akbar Sadeghi (b. 1937), one of the most prolific and influential Iranian artists of his generation.

Presenting a diverse collection of works on paper, oil paintings, animations, sculptures and collages from 1970s to 2019, this exhibition reveals Sadeghi’s artistic journey with a focus on “demons” as super-human figures. Influenced by Persian epic literature as well as universal narratives, Sadeghi’s work offers a thoughtful and creative insight to the condition of human in modern times.
