Kour Pour

Kour Pour fuses cultural heritage and contemporary identity, creating vibrant, layered narratives that draw from diverse artistic traditions. Rooted in his British-Iranian background and immigrant experience, his multidisciplinary practice spans painting, printmaking, and sculpture, engaging deeply with motifs from Islamic patterning, Japanese woodblock prints, and Korean Minhwa folk art. His intricate compositions foster a dialogue between global visual cultures, challenging fixed ideas of origin while celebrating cultural hybridity. By reinterpreting traditional forms—especially the rich history of Persian carpets—Pour produces hybrid artworks that emphasize the fluidity and interconnectedness of cultural aesthetics. Through thoughtful layering and unexpected juxtapositions, his practice encourages viewers to reconsider boundaries between East and West, past and present, tradition and innovation. Pour’s art serves as both a personal exploration and a wider meditation on migration, identity, and the shared human experience. ...
