Artwork Description

More information

Amir Kamand is a Tehran-based sculptor. He began making sculptures during his career in industrial manufacturing, when he was introduced to the use of wax.

He soon switched to using wood, adapting it as his medium of choice ever since. His sculptures combine elements drawn from his own experiences e.g., as a former skier and boxer.

His work has featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and was shown at Palais de Tokyo (Paris) as part of the summer exhibition City Prince/sses in 2019, where he started making larger-scale works combining multiple figures.

In Amir Kamand's wood sculptures, figures and characters inspired by pop culture frequently emerge, set against a backdrop of power dynamics cleverly veiled by a unique sense of humor.

Kamand's work draws upon universal themes and narratives, infused with the particular urban sensibilities of his hometown Tehran. View his full collection of available artworks here
