Born in Kermanshah and educated in Tehran, Iran, Behnaz Sohrabian discovered her love of art, freedom and creative expression as a small child, developed a passion for painting and began her professional art career at the age of 10. Behnaz has earned a B.S. in Applied Chemistry, a B.A. in Painting and a Master of Arts in Art Studies. After completing her master’s degree she immigrated to the United States in 2010 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2017. "My aim is to paint simply. Apply easy brush stokes. Emphasize light and shadow and the dynamics between the subject and background. I choose varied subject matter to convey the concept of femininity with simplicity, natural beauty and inspiration. Women, flowers and mother earth symbolize the essential power of creation in our world. They interact with an intentionally sensuous dance that expresses the process of fertility and reproduction, strength and compassion. My art explores the drama, texture and wonder of this creative process."

There will be no blog today, however, you will hear from us next week! Through out the holidays, gallery staff will be available Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 until 5:00 pm, all appointments can be made spontaneously by phone, email, or direct message on social media!

Art, for most people, has become more meaningful. Art is no longer just something decorative that hangs on the wall. Social distancing and sheltering at home has made us realize that art is a constant companion that enables us to manage external stresses, while providing comfort, friendship, and inspiration. Since 2000, our goal at JRB Art at The Elms has been to bring you the best local and nationally recognized artists. This year we have upped our gallery game to make art more conveniently available to you by offering Free Delivery in the Metro Area and Free Shipping throughout the United States.

Last night, Friday, November 13th, JRB Art at The Elms hosted a socially distanced opening for its November - December exhibits, featuring the work of two gallery artists Holly Wilson and Behnaz Sohrabian. Both shows featured works in different genres and techniques. “Seven Sides of the Self,” by Wilson showcased her skillful bronze sculptures, photographs, and paintings, while "Human," by Sohrabian presented her beautifully diverse portrait, landscape, floral, nude and abstract paintings. Both exhibitions will be on display at the gallery Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00am to 5:00pm and are available to view online at www.jrbartgallery.com.

Classic yet modern landscape, figure and floral studies and two abstractions symbolize the “Human” in a show by Behnaz Sohrabian.

Sohrabian’s exhibit opens from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m Friday at JRB Art at The Elms, 2810 N Walker, with a show by Holly Wilson.
