Our Research Series:
Artygene:
In “Artygene”, we explore characteristics (we call them “genes”) of artists, their life, their works and the stories behind them.
This research series is devoted to artists who incorporate art into their everyday life and make new perspectives and ideas available to us.
This book, from “ARTIGENE” book series, is our first attempt to review and discover the “artist gene” of artists who were able to take care of themselves with art so that their life can be put“art” and “artist” in front of our eyes.
In this book we explore the art and life of Iranian artist Hamid Reza Jahani; A passionate and
self-aware artist who is also a lifelong art teacher. The painting is perhaps a gift that he took from kindness and he kindly gives to others. Jahani’s painting is nothing else than his life.
