Biography
Kourosh Salehi, born in Khuzestan, Iran, is a distinguished artist and architect. He earned a BSc in Architecture in London in 1987, followed by an MA in Art and Architecture in 1993, and became a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1996. Salehi is part of a cohort of post-revolution Iranian artists who have fused Eastern and Western traditions to create a new artistic language of exile, establishing him as one of the most significant painters of his generation.
Throughout his career, Salehi has crafted a unique formal language that reflects not reality itself but the representation of reality. Drawing inspiration from classical portraiture, sculpture, and vintage photography, he employs various media and technologies in his work. This multifaceted approach enables him to explore his subjects in three dimensions, providing a distinctive perspective on their essence.
