Absolutely Superb Iranian Painter

I am a big fan of traditional realist art, like that showcased at the Art Renewal Center online. Given the constant venom directed toward Iran and Iranians in the media, I thought it might be refreshing for forum regulars to see some work by one of those Iranian madmen, Iman Maleki. One of his paintings is shown in the first thumbnail below.

When you look at Maleki's gallery, keep in mind these are PAINTINGS. He paints in the traditional style of the masters, with incredible depth and detail. Take the time to visit the Art Renewal center online, and you will come away refreshed with a renewed appreciation for beauty and artistic talent - guaranteed.

Note: I removed the thumbnails of the two portraits to avoid any copyright issues. I thought they were "fair use" since they were part of links at the ARC, but I have been warned they are not. Better safe than sorry, and I do not wish to infringe on the rights of the artist.
