Pejman (pronounced “Payshman”) Ebadi was a child genius. Born in Teheran, he has been painting watercolours of extraordinary depth and sophistication since the age of four. They look like initial sketches from the studios of Paul Klee and Kandinsky. His first solo exhibition was in 1990 when he was eight years old and by the time Ebadi was eighteen years old, he had created around 1,500 works of art. He has no academic artistic training and, rather than using an easel, fixes his supports straight onto the wall or floor. Ebadi’s work expresses the personal views, emotions and experiences of an adolescent absorbing his responses to the world around him. His powerful line drawings often create intense, violent and confrontational images out of a disharmony of colours and a mixture of French and English text.

He has had thirty-six solo exhibitions in worldwide venues, including the Villa des Arts in Strasbourg, the Espace Pierre Cardin, Paris, Christian Zeller Gallery, Bern and also in Berlin, Montreal, Toronto, Tahiti, culminating in a Retrospective exhibition at the Arsenal in Metz in 1990. Pejman is now 25 years old. Grosvenor House is the first public showing of a major work by Pejman in Britain.
