In the last couple of years, we saw a number of great exhibitions of Iranian contemporary artists. In recent months, we enjoyed the exhibition of Reza Derakshani, one of the most recognized Iranian artists, at Sophia Contemporary in London; the exhibition of Shirazeh Houshiary at Lisson Gallery in London, and so on. Many of Iranian artists are living and working abroad; however there are still many of them who are based in Iran. One of these great Iranian artists is Afarin Sajedi who is about to have an exhibition at Rome-based Dorothy Circus Gallery. After her successful collaborations with Dorothy Circus Gallery in the group show God is Her Deejay and the special event Printemps Parisien, the Iranian artist Afarin Sajedi returns to Rome for her first official solo show at this great gallery. The show is titled Illusion.
