Hybrid Baroque—in search of new sensoria, 2026

March 7 - March 29
a solo show by Abol Bahadori

I was deeply honored to have my recent works featured in a solo exhibition at the prestigious IA&A at Hillyer in DC. This selection, chosen from hundreds of competitive local and international proposals, was a significant professional affirmation of my artistic direction, particularly following the well-attended opening reception, which garnered many compliments from art lovers and fellow artists.

Virtual Gallery Guide >

The exhibition features works (created between late 2023 and February 2026) from my Baroque series, inspired by the dynamism and grandeur of Western Baroque and the rich traditions of Eastern miniatures that I have studied since childhood.

These paintings are intentionally theatrical. I establish the “stage” through chromatic harmony and movement, inviting you, the viewer, to step into the scene and complete the narrative. 

Artist Talk

During the artist talk (March 21), we dove deep into the concept and process, and the exchange of ideas with fellow art enthusiasts and creatives was truly inspiring.

with moderator and print expert, Joshua Dunn

Huge thanks to Joshua Dunn for being an amazing moderator and to the fantastic Hillyer Gallery team for making it all happen.

Don’t miss out on the exhibit – it’s on display until March 29!
