Pejman Ebadi had his first group exhibition in 1988 in Paris when he was six years old and his first solo gallery exhibition at the age of eight. His works are exhibited all over the world - Montreal, New York, Tahiti, Cannes, Hamburg, Lyon, Bern, Wuppertal and so on and so on.

Born in Teheran

Pejman Ebadi was born in 1982 in Teheran. His family fled from the Ayatollahs to Paris where he grew up. The little boy showed an obvious drawing talent at an age when he was still at nursery school. Since then he has painted incessantly.

A Prodigy Child

When Pejman was eighteen years old, he had created about 1,500 works of art. The list of his exhibitions has become very long. It looks like the exhibition resume of a middle-aged, internationally successful artist. The young man is fully integrated in his own success. Ebadi is usually present when a new gallery show of his paintings is opened. And it is not only the gallery shows that keep him busy. TV channels such as the main German and French channels report about him. Even Fuji Television Network from Japan or R.F.O from Tahiti broadcast interviews or special coverages of Pejman Ebadi.

The hype about the prodigy boy is obvious, but his talent is too. The art works of Pejman reflect the experiences of an adolescent of our times. His images are often violent, aggressive, obtrusive. Others show subtle use of colors and compositions.

Astonishing is the great variety and richness of forms, signs, characters and patterns. Pejman's use of color is anything else but arbitrary. The young guy definitely has a great talent. He must be more than the product of a smart art marketing manager. It is the absence of a specific style that shows his real talent. Young stars - no matter whether singers, musicians, actors or painters - often come up with a successful but limited gimmick. They become famous over night, then try to repeat the success again and again and disappear soon, because they are incapable of creating anything else than different variations of one pattern.

What Next?

Pejman Ebadi's paintings and drawings show elements of all kinds of styles and art movements. Some of his designs look a bit like Joan Miro, other like Picasso or Kandinsky. The young man has not found his style yet. It would be foolish to expect this at his age. And for his development it is better to experience the whole spectrum of modern art styles of the twentieth century.

By the time this little article was written (2002), Ebadi has reached the age of twenty. The prodigy child era is over. One can only hope that he survived the hype about his person without taking any damage in his personality and his strive to become a great artist.

Might Pejman Ebadi one day become a kind of "Picasso" of the twenty-first century? Only time can tell. His art work sells well. And his paintings and his drawings on paper are still very cheap. They might be worth a fortune in twenty years from now. Speculation should not be the driving force for buying a work of art. But it often is. If you like a work of art and have some prospects it might be something very important and valuable one day - why not. Regard buying an "Ebadi" as Pejman regards painting: a serious play.
