D'angers gallery is pleased to present "Return to the Stage" a selection of paintings created by Akbar Yadegari in recent years. Curator: Javid Ramezani. Akbar avoids the meanings given to his subjects; therefore he can concentrate on his own cognition; he starts a dialogue with the work at hand and continues working up to a point where it's not clear which one is evolving, he or the painting. He thinks a true painting should change the artist as well as artist changes the painting. For Akbar "abstract" is striping any phenomenon of its imposed meaning. On display, mostly figurative are displayed with hints at the concept of migration. In his work, he has used various tools from brush to handkerchief and facial tissues. He has employed vibrant colors which are then smudged with duller hues.
