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.

Kamrooz Aram

(he/him)

Born 1978 in Shiraz, Iran
Lives in New York, NY

Looking back to histories of abstraction that predate modern art, Kamrooz Aram’s work references art forms that have often been characterized by Western art historians as merely decorative. Ceramics, carpets, architectural painting, and folding screens all have rich and complex traditions that the artist sees as part of the histories of painting. He has united the works presented here by contributing to the design of the platform and creating a painted wall he has likened to a “monochromatic mural.”
