Zurich gallery displays works by Iranian artist

TEHRAN, Apr. 24 (MNA) – An exhibition of works by Iranian artist Katayun Ruhi is currently underway at the AB Gallery in Zurich, Switzerland.

Entitled “Ut Poesis Picture”, the collection is a combination of paintings and Persian calligraphy, bearing pieces of poetry composed by the artist but written backwards.

The exhibition, which opened in April 10, will be running until May 17.

The artist settled in France in 1984, and opened a studio in Auvers-sur-Oise, a town made famous by the Impressionists. Her paintings are often based on photographs, which she redraws and then inscribes with poems in Persian. 

She has previously held exhibitions in other countries.
