Playfulness, experimentation, her innate poetry, her solitude, and her candid simplicity has made her a self-thought painter. She does not care for longwinded sentences and lofty pharisee.

Shahpari Behzadi works in a quiet, unpretentious style that is uncommon in her domain. She and I were neighbors and companions for several years. My knowledge and views of her work concerns two periods:

The first period, compared to earlier experiences, reveals a more refined insight and wisdom. Her works – create through a process that begins by deepening backgrounds, and ends with a subtle transformation – speaks to the viewer in an abstract language that is at once unmediated and intimate. For herself, the works are a reflection of nature, glimmering with light and shadow.

The second period, part of which is included at this exhibition, continues the sense and experiences of the preceding period, in a new way. This time, across the swathe of deepened background, colorful objects punctuated and unknown time and place: the objects of utilitarian, or architectural shapes reduced to their simplest lines, or organics forms. The Presence of these periods a mysterious, symbolist quality. Exploring the world inside, untraditional experimentation, and clear influence of social events, are emphases of this period.
