Arghavan Khosravi's 'The Shape of Absence' at König Galerie

At St. Agnes in Berlin, König Galerie is showcasing 'The Shape of Absence,' a solo exhibition by Arghavan Khosravi, an artist originally from Iran and now based in the US. This exhibition marks her second collaboration with the gallery. Khosravi's artistic creations are influenced by her lived experiences, cultural background, and historical context, yet they transcend specific locations and time periods. Through her paintings and sculptures, she creates environments where themes of power, visibility, agency, and control emerge through symbolic imagery. Common elements in her work include body fragments, architectural forms, veils, cages, hands, shadows, and openings, which serve as visual metaphors open to various interpretations. Her pieces are characterized as poetic, intricately crafted, rhythmic, and rich in meaning, inviting viewers into reflective experiences.
