Iranian painter Hadi Jamali dies at 74
Born in Shiraz, Iran, in May 1950, Jamali graduated with a degree in interior architecture from the University of Art and went on to get a master’s degree in industrial design from the Art and Architecture Faculty of Islamic Azad University.
Simultaneously, he pursued his passion for painting and developed his unique artistic style.
Jamali’s work is characterized by abstract expressionism, a style he believed conveyed a stronger impact and a certain degree of intensity. His abstract creations, often executed on thin aluminum sheets, incorporated techniques such as grooving, stitching, coloring, and decolorization, resulting in textures that evoked images of cracked skin or unhealed wounds, as noted by art researchers.
He showcased his work both nationally and internationally, participating in numerous group and solo exhibitions.
Among his many artistic achievements, Jamali had authored educational design books, served as a judge for visual arts competitions, and painted murals in Tehran.
He had also received various awards, presented artistic papers at university seminars and cultural centers, and published a book which was a culmination of his 26 years of teaching experience.
