legacy reunited

AN UPCOMING EXHIBITION AT MASH GALLERY

In a remarkable twist of fate, Mash Gallery, a renowned Los Angeles art gallery, has become the setting for an emotionally charged reunion between gallery owner Haleh Mashian and artist Yaghoub Jacob Souferzadeh. Unbeknownst to Haleh Mashian, the artist who contacted her turned out to be her very first painting teacher from her childhood and a close friend of her late father. Her father’s death, which remained unresolved and tragic, has always been a significant source of grief for Haleh. This encounter stirred profound emotions and inspired her, rekindling cherished memories of how her late father’s encouragement of artistic pursuits shaped her life. The impact of this revelation deeply moved both Mashian and Souferzadeh.

Moved by this serendipitous reunion, Mashian decided to pay a studio visit to the artist. What she discovered there was truly inspiring. The artist’s body of work, crafted over the years, showcased remarkable talent and creativity. Haleh was particularly moved to learn that even at the age of ninety, Souferzadeh possesses the vigor and intensity of a twenty-year-old artist. Always exploring!

Souferzadeh has dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of painting. His passion for art has led him to explore various styles, series, and mediums, ranging from classical to modern. His dedication and relentless pursuit of his craft have made him a force of nature in the art world. He has shown globally and has been the recipient of many awards. His imaginative and vibrant use of colors, particularly in his rose series and landscapes of Northern Iran, notably the enchanting Shomal region, showcase his unique perspective and impressionistic brush strokes. His work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a deep emotional connection to his birthplace.

This exhibition will feature a curated collection, cataloging the breadth and depth of his artistic journey, allowing art enthusiasts and collectors to appreciate his legacy.

We invite you to join us at Mash Gallery for this exceptional retrospective exhibition, celebrating the life and commitment to creativity of Souferzadeh. This event promises to be an inspiring exploration of artistry and a testament to the enduring power of artistic expression.
