Born 1965 in Kabul, Afghanistan, Kargar moved to Germany at a very young age and was raised in West-Berlin. He studied Fine Art/Painting in Braunschweig, Germany.
In his early work he depicted Roman-Greco mythology and created very contemporary paintings based on the ancient cultures. His recent work is a strong departure from the historical content.
Bold, provocative and sexy is the new language of his passionate paintings. His inspiration is the media and advertising world around us. While his earlier work depicted the gods and goddesses of the Antique, we find that his new work depicts the new icons of our Modern times.
Please save the date for the opening reception: Saturday, April 10th 2010 6-8pm. Kargar will come from Berlin to be here for the inveiling of his new series.

After the immense success of the “Masterpieces” exhibition last year at the Hart Gallery, we are currently showing the finest works by some of our most accomplished artists, such as Paul Wunderlich, Heinz Rabbow, Willi Kissmer and many more as well as Fine Prints by Chagall and Botero and original paintings by David Schneuer (1905-1988).
For the first time in this gallery we have put one of the most intriguing paintings by Hermann Lueddecke on display. It is his version of the famous painting “Venus Anadyomene” that has been painted by Ingres and Botticelli before.
Please call the gallery for more information and pricing.
