拍品专文

Ala Ebtekar finds inspiration in both the history of Western art and the traditional art and culture of Iran and has produced a great number of works, mostly drawings, delicately combining pre-Islamic iconography with contemporary patterns.

In the present work, Ebtekar draws inspiration from Persian mythology and depicts an imaginary creature, resembling a centaur, on a background made of a collage of pages that the artist collected from ancient poetry books. The creature, with its human head and crown, the body of a horse and open wings appears majestic like the Achaemenid Kings of Persepolis. The sun, in turn, alludes to the Zoroastrian beliefs that have greatly influenced the artist throughout his life and career.
