Ali Banisadr Exhibits Alongside Gustave Moreau in Paris

exhibition · 2026-09-13

Iranian artist Ali Banisadr, who is based in New York, is showing his work in Paris at the Musée Gustave-Moreau, where his paintings are displayed in dialogue with canvases by the 19th-century French painter Gustave Moreau. Banisadr is simultaneously presenting work at the Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris. The dual presentation places the contemporary Iranian-born, New York-based painter in direct visual conversation with the historical Symbolist master, framing both as painters who worked outside dominant artistic currents of their respective eras. The exhibitions are on view in Paris as of September 2026.
