About the artist

is a British-Iranian-American artist whose work is deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of global cultural exchanges. Growing up in a mixed-race household and newly American, Pour 's experience as an immigrant is central to his practice. His art draws from a wide array of visual languages, including Islamic patterning, Japanese woodblock prints, and Korean Minhwa folk art. These influences are meticulously woven into his paintings and sculptures through a blend of hand-cut block prints, silkscreened images, and traditional techniques. His work explores the fluid boundaries between cultures and identities, creating hybrid artworks that highlight the interconnectedness of diverse artist traditions. This spirit of gathering is echoed in Pour ’s project, Guest House, an exhibition platform run out of his Inglewood studio complex. A way to foster community, Guest House brings the tenets of Pour ’s practice into the social space and highlights the cultural exchange in Los Angeles’s creative landscape.
