"I’ve always been interested in real stories and people," Iran-born but Virginia-raised Amir Fallah told @VoyageLAMag. "When I first began making art all of my work revolved around my personal experiences." As Fallah began to expand to exploring other people's lives he started to ask questions like "how do you create a portrait that doesn't show someone's physical likeness?" Covering his subjects with textile designs and filling his work with the artifacts of their life histories and stories, he has found a way to look beyond superficial descriptions and tell a deeper story. For Pow!Wow! Antelope Valley in Lancaster, California, Fallah's 2018 mural on Date Ave provides us a glimpse at the rich layered design he commonly uses to both mask and reveal his subjects.  @amirhfallah/  @moahlancaster/  @powwowav/

Please Slide to see all of our exclusive interview with @amirhfallah an Iranian/American artist based in California . ‏If you are in NYC make sure you don’t miss opening of @amirhfallah next Friday, May 11 at Denny Gallery! @dennygallery / @artnet امیرحسین فلاح، نقاشی ها، مجسمه ها و اینستالشن را از خاطرات شخصی افراد به عنوان نقطه ورود برای بحث در مورد نژاد و بازمانده ی فرهنگ ها و کشورهای پشت سر گذاشته شده آنها ایجاد می کند. از طریق این فرایند، آثار هنرمند از روایت های متنوع و احساسی استفاده می کنند که باعث می شود پرسشی درباره هویت، تجربه مهاجران و تاریخ پرتره داشته باشد. ‏Amir H. Fallah creates paintings, sculptures, and installations that utilize personal history as an entry point to discuss race, representation, the body, and the memories of cultures and countries left behind. Through this process, the artist’s works employ nuanced and emotive narratives that evoke an inquiry about identity, the immigrant experience, and the history of portraiture. #hypersia #amirhfallah
