Biography: Farsad Labbauf was born in 1965 in Tehran, Iran. After thirteen years, he moved to the United States just after the revolution. Upon arriving in the U.S., he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design. Although he began painting at a very young age, Farsad neither received nor believed in formal training in painting. He feels that such creativity comes from within and cannot be taught.
The pieces exhibited here were completed during a period in his mid-30s. At this time, Labbauf became preoccupied with ideas of perception. The pieces reflect the turbulent times experienced during revolution.
