Moghdad Lorpour, a contemporary painter, was born in Shiraz. He started his artistic activity in his hometown. In 1999, Lorpour exhibited his artworks for the first time in the form of a group exhibition titled "Pedestrian" in the Baran Gallery of Shiraz.
His selection as the best artist at the Youth Art Festival, held in the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art exhibition in 2015, is a turning point in his professional path. In the same year, the first solo exhibition of this artist was held in Tehran Artists' House. A year later, Lorpour won the "2nd Generation Selection" award of Homa Gallery. The second solo exhibition of this artist was held in Tehran's Mah Gallery in 2012 under the title "Kabareh." Lorpour's first international appearance took place at Dubai Artfair in 2017. The following year, his artworks were also shown at Artfair Artissima in Turin. 2021 was also fruitful for this artist, accompanied by the exhibition of Lorpour's artworks in two art fairs, "Art Dubai" and "Armory Show" in New York.
Lorpour has a representational approach in his paintings. Nature is an integral part of this artist's work periods, who already shows plant or animal motifs such as trees, deer, hedgehogs, scavengers, or owls in his paintings. The coexistence of these motifs with civil and human elements is like a bridge between culture and nature. He interferes with the logic of animal organs or spatial reasoning in general. It can be said that the romantic mood prevails in most of his landscapes.
Alireza Rezaei-Aghdam, on the occasion of holding the "Dariabar" exhibition, writes about Larpur's works: "Every theme in Lorpour's work, whether romantic patterns of landscape design or drought, is reflected in a way that is expected from painting as a rich and historical medium; Because Lorpour's painting is not without idols, and regardless of any element or theme that it portrays, its form and look have its identity. His painting - gently and hauntingly - touches on surrealism, but not the surrealism of painters like Dalí and Ernst, but a slow movement between the mystery of George DeCrico and the softness and machoness of Andrew White; That is, something between surrealism and magical realism. However, although this style and medium are still immature and limited in scope, it comes from the inner vision of the paintings, and it is not a cursory and prescriptive sampling of the familiar strategies of these two relative styles."
