Davood Roostaei the founder of cryptorealism

​

Shortly before the turn of the millennium, a new stylistic term appeared in art literature and soon afterwards in international art criticism and in the culture section of major daily newspapers: 'cryptorealism', understood as a variety of the universally widespread postmodernism.

The founder of this new way of painting and seeing is Davood Roostaei, a world artist from Iran who, after fleeing Persia, lived and worked in Germany for fifteen years before moving to California in the USA in 2000.

It is still difficult for art critics to understand that after all the artistic revolutions of the century, all of which originated in the West, a Magnus from the deeply veiled and iconoclastic Orient is entering the stage of world art: a wondrous painter in the guise of the Three Kings, who sets out to revolutionize the era's painting style once again and confidently disregards all the rules of postmodernism to create a new style.

 

Davood Roostaei is the pioneer of cryptorealism.
