Nebulous Rings- A Khosro Berahmandi Solo Exhibition At Queen Gallery

Online, October 13, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Nebulous Rings

For the first time, Khosro Berahmandi, the prolific and inspiring artist from Montreal, comes to Queen Gallery with a handful of his most recent works entitled Nebulous Rings. Queen Gallery is pleased to invite Torontonians to view Khosro's universe of infinite detail from which emerges a personal, extraordinary and captivating mythology. The exhibition runs from October 7 to October 26, 2010.

The artistic universe of Khosro is unique. A sensual and lurid imagery depicted through an earthly vision that provokes the rebirth of a primordial image hidden under layers of trivial pursuits. Inspired by Native American Art and the Indo-Iranian tradition of Miniature Painting, Khosro has created a singular and vivacious aesthetic that plunges the spectators into a mesmerizing labyrinth of enigmatic realms.

Born in Tehran, Khoshro Berahmandi entered the world of art due to a political situation in Iran that forced him to leave the country. In the first lonely years of exile, he found comfort in painting and soon this interest turned into a vocation. After studying Fine Arts with Paterson Ewen, a Canadian painter who encouraged him to pursue painting, Khosro continued his academic formation at Concordia University in Montreal and at the University of Paris VIII. Since 1990, he contributes to the cultural life of Montreal's metropolitan city with his exhibitions and art courses as well as with his involvement with Festival Accès Asie.

Queen gallery is proud to be able to introduce within its walls the works of Khosro Berahmandi for the first time in Toronto, works that are rich in quality, whose intriguing magic sways sometimes towards lightness or amazement, sometimes towards darkness or extreme brittleness, making them interesting both for the expert as well as the amateur.

Closing reception: Saturday, October 23, from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm
