TEHRAN-A painting exhibition titled “Art and Revolution,” featuring works by Brazilian artist João Abíduo Galvão, was inaugurated at the National Museum of the Islamic Revolution and Sacred Defense in Tehran on June 11.

Abíduo Galvão’s paintings reflect contemporary global power dynamics, where history repeats itself and revolution intertwines with art, Honaronline reported.

During the opening ceremony, the artist said: “The world of art differs from the world of capitalism, and art can never be controlled. It is a great honor for me to showcase my art to esteemed friends here.”

The Brazilian artist has created 20 pieces exclusively for the National Museum of the Islamic Revolution and Sacred Defense. However, only 10 of them are now on display due to space limitations.

His artistic style, characterized as abstract, draws influence from the famous American artist Jackson Pollock.

The artworks on show are mixed-media paintings on canvas, each measuring 300x300 centimeters. The exhibition is scheduled to come to an end on June 25.
