Mir Abdolreza Daryabeigi is a painter of desert landscapes. His paintings hardly could be attributed to a particular style or artistic way. His landscape paintings oscillate between Mental representation and abstraction and have a poetic feeling.
Daryabigi graduated from the University of Tehran with a degree in literature. His first exhibition was held in 1960 in Tehran Aesthetic Gallery. Later in 1966, he participated in the 5th Tehran Biennale and after that he exhibited his works continuously in galleries such as Mes, Borgez, Seyhoun and Negar. In 1963, he established the Tehran Mes Gallery. This artist also recieved Tablet of honor from the Human Rights Exhibition in 1968. In 1974, Daryabeigi, along with six other painters such as Marco Grigorian, Gholam Hossein Naami, Iran Darroudi, Morteza Momayez, Faramarz Pillaram, Sirak Malekonian and Arabshahi founded the "Free Group". The members of the group exhibited their works in four catalogues with the title of "Blue" and "Treasure and Range" and participated in international events such as "Expo Basel" in Switzerland and "Wash Art" in the United States. Members of this group often had a tendency to conceptual art. After four years of continuous activity the group ended its work in the year leading up to the revolution in 1979.
Daryabigi is the poet of desert landscapes. The sky and the earth in his paintings have a gentle range of colors, approach each other step by step and join together on the horizon and the ghosts of several trees, rocks or houses rise from the depths of the horizon. The dominance of horizontal lines and the torsion of curves over the horizon create a timeless and spaceless landscape . "Daryabeigi paints desert landscapes and often reaches the endpoint of complete abstraction," writes Ruyin Pakbaz. "The extension of the space, the rhythmic curves and the shadows in his paintings indicate poetic experiences with nature." Color choices are more related to the artist's feelings rather than being loyal to reality. The feeling that sometimes creates a green desert.
