Mehri Fatemeh Dadgar "Ladies"
Showing through September, 2007
women’s political prison for passing out pro democracy newsletters as
an idealistic young woman on the streets of Tehran, in the early 1980's
---- yet the beauty of her art is awe inspiring.
The experience had a profound effect on her life and art, but not in the
negative ways one might think. The show is absolutely exquisite. It is
appropriately named “Ladies”. The beauty and soulfulness of her work
is definitely something one has to experience for ones self. The
watercolor, gouache and ink images are not unlike an “Erte” in their feel
and femininity but they are very much a "Dadgar" in that they are rich
with the emotion and soul of her personal story.
This show is not about politics ---it is about the human spirit.
It is truly a heartfelt pleasure to meet someone who has taken a life
wrenching experience and has become an even more beautiful human
spirit for it. Mehri Dadgar chooses to share it with us in the form of art.
It is an amazing gift to see it.
She is currently being shown at Cambridge University, Cambridge,
England. Has a MFA in Art from California State University of Long
Beach.
The Barefoot Art Gallery is very honored to have the opportunity to
bring this show to the public. It is for all those who choose to be
inspired in a profound and beautiful way. Please come join us.
