Arghavan Khosravi's 'Radiant Sculptures' Explore the Landscape of Dreams
Arghavan Khosravi's latest exhibition, 'Radiant Sculptures,' invites viewers into a psychological theater where each piece acts as a silent protagonist in a play of the subconscious. The Iranian-born artist, now based in the U.S. , moves beyond overt political commentary to delve into the more elusive realms of dreams, memory, and internal conflict.Her work masterfully assembles fragmented cultural heritage and personal history into cohesive, yet intentionally fractured, sculptural forms. Constructed from luminous resins, polished wood, gilded elements, and a mix of Iranian textiles and modern metalwork, the sculptures are radiant yet tense.Classical forms are interrupted by sharp, architectural intrusions; serene faces are juxtaposed with disembodied limbs and symbolic objects like keys, ropes, and cages. This visual language speaks to universal themes of freedom, constraint, and identity with the poignant weight of a Sondheim musical prop.Khosravi’s process of literal and metaphorical assemblage mirrors how the subconscious mind pieces together experiences, fears, and desires. The result is a collection that feels both intimately personal and universally resonant, offering viewers not a finished performance, but a backstage pass to the artist's mind. Her work doesn't shout but whispers, encouraging a closer look into its polished surfaces and shadowy recesses to find one's own story reflected in these haunting and profoundly moving sculptural portraits.
