‘Nowruznegar’ blossoms in Tehran
As spring unfolds and the joyous festivities of Nowruz approach, Tehran’s Laleh Gallery opened its doors to the ‘Nowruznegar’ art exhibition, showcasing the beauty of nature through an array of artistic expressions.
Mohammad Ali Saeidi, the gallery director and curator of the exhibition, told Iran Daily reporter that it is the second consecutive year the Laleh Gallery is hosting this distinguished event.
The exhibition features approximately 120 pieces from 70 contemporary artists, all inspired by the delicate charm and liveliness of spring.
“The majority of the artworks are presented in either realistic or abstract styles, with a portion created in the traditional Persian calligraphy painting technique,” Saeidi explained. “We focused on selecting pieces that embody bright, joyful colors, reflecting the positive energy of this season for our visitors.”
Half of the participating artists are recognized figures in the Iranian art scene, while the other half consists of emerging talents who draw inspiration from nature in their creations.
Saeidi added that last year’s exhibition attracted a significant number of tourists and travelers from across the country during the Nowruz holiday, many of whom are eager to explore art galleries featuring themes of spring and the New Year.
The exhibition began on March 8 and will run until April 7, providing a month-long celebration of art and nature in the heart of Tehran.
