Rich with symbolism, Arghavan Khosravi’s multilayered artworks draw upon personal experience to explore diasporic identity.

During Covid-19 lockdown Khosravi began working with found objects, juxtaposing the flat plane of her canvases with intricate three-dimensional assemblage. Our debut collaboration explores this practice in edition form, combining an archival pigment print with a book, leather cord and air-brushed details. A motif found throughout the artist’s practice, in this case the vibrant red cord serves to steer the viewers eye and connect the artworks various layers and details.

The work’s title nods to its seamless yellow gradients, and to the sense of quiet optimism emanating from it subject.

International Women's Day
The Morning Light is the third in a series of 6 editions drawn together by Avant Arte Chief Curator Gemma Rolls-Bentley to coincide with International Women's Day. Read the journal.

Behind the scenes

Arghavan Khosravi

2 collaborations

Arghavan Khosravi draws from her own life to depict the fragmentation of diasporic cultural identity. These experiences manifest in segmented, layered canvases which often incorporate 3D objects like earbuds and chains. Her work is rich with symbolic motifs such as red strings and obscured facial features that reflect cultural restrictions imposed on the artist while living in Iran. However, Khosravi is keen to do so subtly – conveying a sense of claustrophobia rather than outright violence. Throughout her oeuvre, Khosravi advocates human rights while refusing to abide by Western stereotypes of repressed Iranian women – instead anchoring her work to the reality of her own memory.
