Tanzara Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition “Unveiling Persia” – a celebration of beauty, geometry and cultural legacy through the  artworks of Shakil Saigol.
Persia has long been a centre of beauty, intellect, and artistic innovation. In “Unveiling Persia”, Saigol responds to that enduring legacy through an artist’s lens – discovering in its monuments, craftsmanship and refined visual order a culture that continues to resonate with extraordinary clarity. This exhibition reflects a journey where history remains alive in pattern, form, and imagination.
Within the serenity of mosques, the elegance of palaces and gardens, and the monumental presence of archaeological sites, Saigol encountered a language of geometry – precise, symbolic, and endlessly expanding. These patterns, built from fragments that reveal themselves through repetition, provide the foundation for his work.
The sarees in this exhibition reinterpret Persian tile work by shifting it from ceramic to fabric. Saigol’s translation preserves the sophistication of the original while granting it movement and tactility- shaping a contemporary expression of a centuries old aesthetic.
“Unveiling Persia” does not attempt to capture the vastness of a civilisation whose influence spans millennia and continents. Instead, it offers a thoughtful tribute – a glimpse into the imagination and craftsmanship that continue to define the splendour of Persia.
