Farhad Moshiri is an Iranian artist.
He was born in 1963 in Shiraz, Iran, and studied fine arts at Calarts in California. In America he first started experimenting with installations, video art and painting before coming back to Tehran in 1991. He is well known for his ironic interpretations of hybrids between traditional Iranian forms and those of the consumerist and globalized popular culture widespread in his country.
His painted jars, which he is best known for, look like three dimensional objects, bursting with popular foods, drinks and desserts. Elegant popular scripts are written on the body of the large painted jars.
Significant works include "General Understanding", "A Dream in Tehran", "Brain", "Silver Portrait on Red" and "Stereo Surround Sofa"
His work is held in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.[1]
