Kour Pour | Nazarian / Curcio | 15 February – 22 March
The paintings in Kour Pour’s exhibition see the British-Iranian artist reconfigure his longstanding interests – Persian miniatures, Islamic architecture, sacred geometry – into enchanting new forms. Intricately layered on stacked, shaped canvases, these architectural paintings reference Frank Stella’s compositions from his 1963 trip to Iran. Pour’s presentation will also coincide with a new instalment of ‘Mehmooni’, an exhibition series curated by the artist for Guest House project space – located inside his Inglewood studio complex – featuring work by Iranian artists living in Los Angeles, home to the largest Persian diaspora in the US. It’s a beautiful meditation on syncretism and the construction of cultural identity.
