Breyte

Breyte was born in Tehran and has been based there since 2014. He spent a long time in France before returning to Tehran where he says he has become a defender of his culture.

Breyte’s work explores the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, advertisement and Persian life, all whilst using his work as a social commentary about society. In his paintings, colour is the central focus, topped with graffiti, stencil, sign-geometric, and also the use of heroic figures such as, athletes, prophets, warriors, kings and comics. Using these techniques and characters, the intellect is emphasised and more noticeable. Breyte often incorporates words and phrases into his paintings, for viewers to find a relatable aspect to his work. They are typically covered with signs and codes of all kinds, and he finds that using the conjunction of various media is an integral element.
