Ali Golkar Art

B. 1948 - Born in 1948 in the historic city of Isfahan, Iran, Golkar brought with him a wealth of historical and mythological background when he settled in the United States. Steeped in the culture of Europe and the Orient, he began to explore the reaches of his consciousness and translate them into imagery. For Golkar, his art, as his poetry, is a continual development. His work is a metaphor for the outreaching of his soul, and in this way his art becomes an invocation for all our souls, allowing us to trace back to our own experience of things that we have often felt but have not been able to express.
