Regarding Fallah, it can be said that due to living and working within the Iranian tradition, in addition to his adjacement to the modern Iranian painting with Sadegh Tabrizi and cooperating with people such as Arabshahi and Pilaram, has able him to feel the environment of Saqakhaneh school. In other words, today, after his works being widely exhibited in international and national level, various art experts have considered him to be the successor and reviver of the Saqakhaneh school painting.
The presence of traditional elements in Fallah’s works is directly related to the Iranian tradition such as prayers and spells.
The formal use of the continuous line is a tradition that Tabrizi established in calligraphy, and Fallah combined it with pop art.
Moreover in the collection of roosters, he showed his ability to present classical painting on a large scale. Reza Barahani stated in a text written by his exhibition: “ Fallah’s works have a strong and experienced technique and it is hoped that his works will open a new section in the strategies of Saqakhaneh school, since the rich treasure of Iranian art that has been the source of inspiration for the school’s leaders is always open the way for the Iranian artists.
