About the Item

Argo Narvis is an acrylic on canvas over panel work measuring 96 x 72 inches, not framed (as the artist intended), signed on the overlap 'KOUR POUR 2015 - 2016.' EXHIBITED Tokyo, Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Musuem, Decoration never dies, anyway, November 18, 2017 – February 25, 2018 Kour Pour (born 1987 in Exeter, England) is a Los Angeles based British-Persian artist, who creates large, intricate paintings of Persian carpets depicting images such as Silk Road merchants, Chinese dragons, and Victorian wallpaper patterns. Earning a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2010, Pour made the first of his paintings of traditional carpets for his college graduation show. In just four short years, his first New York solo exhibition at the Untitled Gallery sold out a suite of seven intricately detailed eight-foot-tall canvases before the show even opened. In 2015, the Depart Foundation in Los Angeles held an exhibit of Kour Pour’s work – Kour Pour Samsara – and the art critic Nicola Ricciardi related Kour Pour’s work to some of the grand themes of Science Fiction – atemporality, circularity, and a non-linear narrative. He encourages the viewer to read Ballard’s Atrocity Exhibition, Dick’s Ubik, and Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five as fundamentally echoing Pour’s creative process. Pour’s merging of past, present, and future in his final product is a performance of circularity in which he begins with modern image files found on the internet of ancient imagery – Chinese dragons, Roman soldiers, Ganesh, etc. – which he screens on his current material, composed in his own storyline, ie: re-contextualized. He then hand-paints over the screening, sand-blasts them to prematurely age them, and re-paints them again, a circular process in which the final result is something that lives in all realms simultaneously. Kour Pour’s works have been exhibited in New York City; Dublin, Ireland, and Los Angeles and he was the youngest artist featured in the 2014 Artists to Watch exhibition in Miami.
