Kamrooz Aram
Kamrooz Aram was born in Shiraz, Iran and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, USA. Working in painting, sculpture, collage, and exhibition design, Kamrooz Aram’s work stages an encounter between the European-American avant-garde and non-western forms of abstraction.His exhibitions very often try to rearrange the boundaries between art and artifact through different modes of display. His lyrical paintings and arrangements break down the hierarchies of Western aesthetics, asking that we rethink its categories and re-encounter these ideas and objects anew.
