Arghavan Khosravi is an Iranian artist known for creating multidimensional, surrealist sculptural paintings. Born and raised in Tehran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, she studied illustration and graphic design in her homeland before moving to the United States in 2015 to pursue a fine art education, earning an MFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2018. By juxtaposing art histories, the Connecticut-based artist’s work stands out for its distinctive physical form and richly symbolic narratives, heavily influenced by her personal experiences of living a double life under Iran’s oppressive patriarchal theocracy. The exhibition “What Remains” showcases large-scale wall pieces, a freestanding sculpture, and a series of intimate, small-scale works from a new collection inspired by altarpieces.
