Pooya Aryanpour Iranian, b. 1971
Pooya Aryanpour (b. 1971, Tehran, Iran) is an artist, art instructor, and university lecturer based in Tehran. Known for his influence on Iran’s contemporary art scene, he is also an interior and studio designer, curator, and artistic consultant. Aryanpour’s work combines ephemeral forms and lines to create illusions of familiar shapes, leading to three-dimensional pieces inspired by traditional Iranian ornamentation techniques like mirror work (Ayineh-Kari). His sculptures and installations involve viewers in an interactive experience, blending architecture, sculpting, and painting to create a sensory presence and a sense of mystery.
In 2022, Pooya Aryanpour presented the monumental exhibition "Gone with the Wind" at the defunct Kahrizak Sugar Factory in the southern outskirts of Tehran. His work has been showcased in prestigious museums and institutions worldwide, such as the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art (TMoCA) and the Power Long Museum in Shanghai. Aryanpour has also participated in major biennials, including the 2017 Singapore Biennale and the Tehran National Sculpture Biennial, and has been featured in international art fairs.
