Shahryar Hatami

Shahryar Hatami (b. 1983, Tehran) obtained his BA from the School of Arts and Architecture in Tehran. 

Shahryar Hatami is a multidisciplinary artist who works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, and installation. His work is informed by curiosity and experimentation, often combining different techniques and materials to ask questions about the essence of art. Hatami is particularly interested in the history of image-making and the politics of identity, culture, and Iranian history. He challenges traditional notions of art and investigates the nature of creativity and destruction.
