Palangi Gallery proudly presents Word in Art, a solo exhibition by Australian-Iranian artist Farideh Zariv.
This exhibition explores the profound relationship between language, spirituality, and visual art, showcasing the timeless beauty of Persian calligraphy fused with contemporary painting and sculpture.
Farideh Zariv is an internationally exhibited artist and curator with a background in art education. Her work bridges cultures and has been showcased in renowned venues worldwide, including Hand of Fatima at the Canberra Museum and Art Gallery, the Iziko Museum in South Africa, and Spirit of Horses at Bait Al Zubair Museum in Oman.
Through the integration of poetry, script, and abstract forms, Zariv transforms words into aesthetic and spiritual experiences, inviting audiences to reflect on how language shapes memory, culture, and identity. Each piece embodies a dialogue between tradition and modernity, celebrating words not only as tools of communication but as vessels of meaning and emotion.
Word in Art is a poetic journey into the soul of language, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the spiritual essence of words.
Opening night: Thursday, 28 August, 6pm to 8pm. Guest of Honour: Kathrin Longhurst
