Hadi Tabatabai

About

Hadi Tabatabai is an American artist from Iranian origins living and working in San Francisco.

Hadi Tabatabai works, minimal and singular, are an invitation to peace and to travel. Possessing a highly personal language, he differs technically and visually from minimalist artists even if his geometric grids recall those of the artist Agnes Martin. His blue drawings, emblematic, are an obvious reference to the artist Yves Klein who said « All colors bring forth associations of concrete ideas while blue evokes at most the sea and the sky. » An entire life in the United States has made this contemporary artist of Iranian origin a painter and a sculptor endowed with a technique unequalled in Iran. His works are in several prestigious public and private collections including those of the artists Agnes Martin and Luc Tuymans.
