Afshin Pirhashemi Born in 1974 in Urmia, Afshin Pirhashemi now lives and works in Tehran.

I find Afshin's work absolutely striking, his artwork talks to you, it refreshing and different.

Pirhashemi studied at the Rome Art Academy and finished his art education at Iran’s Azad University. his artworks are kept in public and some private art collectors through the Middle East and Europe. Pirhashemi and he have received awards from the 2003 Tehran 6th International Art Biennial, and the 2004 Beijing Art Biennial Award. 

Solo exhibitions include Ayyam Gallery DIFC, Dubai (2017); Ayyam Gallery, London (2014); Ayyam Gallery, Dubai (2015, 2013); Homa art Gallery, Tehran (2009); Seyhoun Art Gallery, Tehran (2005); and Barg Gallery, Tehran (2005). Group exhibitions include In & Out, Milan (2009); Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, Tehran (2006); Museum of Contemporary Art, Tehran (2004, 2003). 

Afshin Pirhashemi examines the complexities of life in modern-day Iran through photorealist portraits that often bleed at their edges into expressionist compositions, becoming dramatic tableaux. Pirhashemi is fascinated by the role of women in contemporary Iranian society and their relationships to the world around them. Tapping into the psychosocial dimensions of contemporary Iran, Pirhashemi explores manifestations of power as they appear or are negotiated through gendered bodies and spaces.
