Experience the captivating solo exhibition "Fields of Dreams: The Paintings of Davood Roostaei" curated by renowned art expert Peter Frank at the prestigious Wonzimer Gallery in Los Angeles. This captivating exhibition showcases the incredible talent of Iranian-born artist Davood Roostaei, whose unique artistic journey is beautifully portrayed through his mesmerizing paintings.

Born in Malayer, Iran in 1959, Roostaei's artistic path took shape at Tehran's Academy of Fine Arts, until the Islamic Revolution disrupted creative life in Iran. Roostaei, a pacifist opposed to the new regime, turned to graffiti as a way to express his dissent. Unfortunately, his anti-regime activities led to a harsh two-year imprisonment under oppressive conditions.

Following his release in 1984, Roostaei sought asylum in Germany, ultimately settling in Hamburg, where he found inspiration in the neo-expressionist movement prevalent in German art at the time. Roostaei's own artistic style emerged, blending gestural and depictive techniques. In a bold move, he abandoned traditional brushes in 1986 and began painting with his fingers, a technique that defined his career.

Roostaei coined the term "Cryptorealism" in 1990 to describe his artistic approach, highlighting the layered imagery and hidden meaning in his vibrant works. His compositions range from mythical to everyday themes, inviting active participation from the observer to uncover the concealed forms beneath the vivid layers of paint.

After a successful artistic journey in Germany, Roostaei settled in Los Angeles in 2000, seeking spiritual and perceptual freedom. Recognized for his exceptional talent, Roostaei gained prominence in the artistic and social circles of California. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced him and his enthusiasts to seek new ways to connect with their audience.

Join us at the Wonzimer Gallery from September 22 to October 2, 2023, to experience the legacy of Davood Roostaei's vigor and intensity. This exhibition represents a powerful reintroduction to his captivating art, set amidst the vibrant creative scene of Los Angeles. Admission is free, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the captivating world of "Fields of Dreams: The Paintings of Davood Roostaei."

This museum provides an excellent explanation about how the warehousing district evolved as a result of the unification of Germany under Bismarck, after which Hamburg was no longer a Free City therefore warehousing had to be concentrated within the Free Port. There are English explanations of each exhibit, which are shorter than those in German, however they are sufficient to understand what the museum is about. More detailed explanations in English are available on demand.
