A solo exhibition of work by Peybak, the “unified duo” of Iranian artists Peyman Barabadi and Babak Alebrahim Dehkordi.
Peyman Barabadi and Babak Alebrahim Dehkordi, both born in 1984, have been working together as the “unified duo” of Peybak since December 20, 2001. They start working on different parts of every piece together, until they both declare it finished. When asked who feeds into their work, and who is their artistic source, they answer that they have been «influenced by Iranian poets, by stories» and add that they do not possess «any reference». Peybak’s “atemporal works, where the gesture’s energy competes with the stroke’s precision, where the same gets confused with the unique, chaos with order”, are inspired by Persian poetry, mythology and miniature paintings.
