Alireza Javadi (b. 1986, Tehran) is an Iranian painter and printmaker. He held his first solo exhibition in 2008 at Azadi Gallery in Tehran, followed by solo shows at Bandar Abbas Azad University Gallery, Idea Gallery, Negah Gallery, and Artibition. Throughout his artistic career, Javadi has participated in numerous group exhibitions, festivals, art fairs, and workshops both in Iran and abroad.
Javadi’s works evoke the aesthetics of black-and-white Xerox copies—images that have lost or gained definition through repeated reproduction. In his compositions, fine details blend into deliberate blurriness, while the contrast fluctuates across the surface. As a result, his images appear at once clear and indistinct, familiar yet reinterpreted. This visual approach manifests in various forms throughout his series.
In one body of work, Javadi creates compositions inspired by traditional Iranian geometric patterns juxtaposed with empty spaces. Here, elements drawn from Persian miniature painting, Greek mythology, and abstracted animal, vegetal, or geometric motifs seem to float weightlessly. In another series, geometric forms evoke architectural and urban plans at first glance. Here, the artist personalizes these structures through diverse algorithms, seeking a renewed mode of expression.
