Kamrooz Aram

(he/him)
Born 1978 in Shiraz, Iran
Lives in New York, NY

Abstract shapes in varied shades of blue with a few pale pink areas create a structured vertical pattern across a mottled gray background, alternatively seeming to cohere into a row of flowers or a printer’s text, then setting back into decorative geometries that evoke eastern architectural patterns.

Revisando las historias de la abstracción que preceden al arte moderno, la obra de Kamrooz Aram hace referencia a formas de arte que los historiadores occidentales con frecuencia han caracterizado como meramente decorativas. La cerámica, los tapices, la pintura arquitectónica y los biombos tienen tradiciones ricas y complejas que el artista interpreta como parte de la historia de la pintura. Aram ha unido las obras exhibidas aquí contribuyendo al diseño de la plataforma y creando una pintura sobre una pared que denominó un “mural monocromático”.
