EROTIKA EXHIBITION
AT SHOLEH ABGHARI GALLERY

The EROTIKA exhibition showcases 15 selected works from the “Soul House” collection by Soozan Shahabi. Born in Tehran Soozan Shahabi started painting at the age of sixteen.

She completed her secondary education in the field of Art in technical high school with a successful traineeship in 2002. She graduated from university in 2005, majoring in graphic design and started painting professionally from 2000. Since 2012, she is more concentrated on erotic painting and nude style.

Soozan had her first international exhibition in New York in 2013. She has been invited as a VIP guest to some of the most important art events and exhibitions in New York as well as group exhibitions in Europe and America. She had a successful and profitable experience working with different promotional institutions throughout the world.

In her paintings, the inspiration comes from her imagination and the art of photography which helped her to create what goes on in her mind. The paintings are not just about expressing sexual issues but sometimes expressing a simple matter of life in the form of naked art.

The purpose of the naked style “Soul House” collection, is to break the taboo and to create better communication between humans and their naked bodies. Also to break the shame that barriers understanding and seeing the natural beauty of the human body in the true sense. There is no united message between the artworks.

Each painting has its own meaning. Therefore, the viewer based on his/her own perception and understanding will experience the emotion and the connection between him/her and the artwork. The vernissage of “EROTIKA” happened on Thursday, November 14th. The opening party came along with an erotic performance by a professional actress/dancer.
