Los Angeles-based Iranian contemporary art platform ADVOCARTSY presents MANDAL, a solo exhibition of works by Kourosh Beigpour.
Each work exhibited by Kourosh Beigpour is informed by his mastery of calligraphy and typography and based on his deep understanding and study of ancient Persian philosophy of sacred spaces and mysticism. Beigpour’s creations capture the essence of these sacred spaces, in his mystical designs referencing inherent meanings embedded in concepts of geometry, numerology, and Persian calligraphy, each work signifying the ultimate state of transcendence.
MANDAL is Kourosh Beigpour’s first solo exhibition with ADVOCARTSY and in the United States.
All are welcome to attend the public opening for MANDAL at ADVOCARTSY’s West Hollywood gallery on Thursday, January 12th, 2023, from 7-9 pm. The artist, Kourosh Beigpour, and ADVOCARTSY founder and director, Roshi Rahnama, will be present. No appointment will be necessary.
