Sahand Hessamiyan

The works of Sahand Hesamian are primarily interactive. They are clearly derived from Islamic architecture and in so many occasions this intense relationship goes beyond the mere reflection and repetition of the forms and also influences the titles of the pieces and the brief descriptions often accompanying them.

With a Bachelor of Sculpture from Tehran University, Hesamiyan is the member of the managing board of the 6th Tehran Contemporary Sculpture Biennial. His recent solo exhibitions include Sulook, The Third Line, Dubai, UAE (2013); Memory Lives On, Aun Gallery, Tehran, Iran (2011); Do You See Me!, Ave Gallery, Tehran, Iran (2008). He has also shown his work in group shows around the world, including The Blue Route, Villa Empain, Brussels, Belgium (2013); Undone, Mohsen Gallery, Tehran, Iran (2011); Manifest, Azad Gallery, Tehran, Iran (2009). He also participated in the 2008 1st Sculpture Biennial for Urban Space in Tehran. Hesamiyan currently lives and works in Tehran.
