Shahryar Hatami is born in 1984 in Tehran. He has received his MA in painting from the Azad University of Art and Architecture in Tehran. His work has been exhibited in various solo and group exhibitions in Iran and abroad. He approaches painting with curiosity and intellect of one enthralled by fantasy, art history and dreams. Applying his unique language, Shahryar Hatami exhibits his fascination with his favorite painters; Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel. In his latest works, he merges his detailed paintings with refined structures, thus inserting mechanical movements that are completed with action and reaction of the viewers. These works of art are in the area of expanded painting; by abandoning classical frames and restrictions, these works enter the world of sculpture and multi-media installations.
In 2015 his work was included in the book: 100 Painters of Tomorrow, edited by Kurt Beers and published by Thames and Hudson. The book was the result of a major project to find 100 most exciting, up and coming painters at work today, from around the world. (www.100paintersoftomorrow.com)
