Ghalamdar New calligraffitis From Iran

========================

Ghalamdar is an Iranian street artist who practices a combination of graffiti and traditional lettering on walls. He is inspired by endemic calligraphic styles and miniature paintings (negargari) that have been the primary subjects of 20th century modernist art. Ghalamdar began his graffiti career in 2009, coming into contact with local artists and their works. From 2011 to 2014, he teamed up with the Elf Crew, one of the first groups of graffiti to operate in Iran since late 2006. Ghalamdar’s distinctive style has been featured as part of their collective, accompanying the pictorial features of Blind and Ali Fj-one with Persian-inspired calligraphy. Ghalamdar’s work is very influenced by A1one who is a pioneer in Iranian graffiti scene ,but still alot to mention as an original outcome.
