Ghasemi Brothers

Ghasemi Brothers – Morteza, Sina, and Mojtaba Ghasemi Sheelsar – have worked together since 2015. They pursue their painting individually but work together on a single piece when part of the collective. 

The trio works freely and without thematic or technique-related limits, giving them room to express themselves freely. Their approach has provided them with the ability to continue working together. In the beginning, they created a single discourse based on the themes and interests they shared. Ghasemi Brothers gradually started to paint objects that were reminiscent of their native city, the coastal area of Bandar Anzali, and its ecology – the Caspian Sea, rain, and the color blue. 

Their collaborative work has been featured in “Red Room” (Dastan’s Basement, July 2016), “Red Room 2: Migratory Birds” curated by Roya Khadjavi (Elga Wimmer Gallery, New York, April 2017), and “Blue Room” (V-Gallery, a Dastan: Outside Project, 2018).
