The Iranian artist has long reckoned with women\u2019s fight for equality, particularly amid censorship and religious dogma in her native country. Through vibrant gradients that radiate across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/tags\/arghavan-khosravi\/\">her sculptural paintings<\/a>, Khosravi entices the viewer into urgent, ongoing conversations about resistance and control.<\/p>\n<p>Opening today at <a href=\"https:\/\/uffnerliu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Uffner &amp; Liu<\/a>, <em>What Remains<\/em> presents a dynamic new body of work that captures moments of tension and strife. Figures, in Khosravi\u2019s works, are often restricted and tethered to domestic objects and space, and critically, physically separated from one another. Complete with hinged shutters, suspended cords, and tiny visages tucked into unassuming openings, these new pieces incorporate women obscured by their surroundings, leaving only fragments of a limb or face visible. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/khosravi-5.jpg\" class=\"swipebox\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-473973\" title=\"\u201cSuspended\u201d (2026), acrylic on canvas mounted on wood panel, acrylic on wood cutout, acrylic on shaped wood panel, leather cord, rubber cord, plexiglass, 27 1\/2 x 30 x 19 inches\" data-rl_title=\"\u201cSuspended\u201d (2026), acrylic on canvas mounted on wood panel, acrylic on wood cutout, acrylic on shaped wood panel, leather cord, rubber cord, plexiglass, 27 1\/2 x 30 x 19 inches\" data-rl_caption=\"\u201cSuspended\u201d (2026), acrylic on canvas mounted on wood panel, acrylic on wood cutout, acrylic on shaped wood panel, leather cord, rubber cord, plexiglass, 27 1\/2 x 30 x 19 inches\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/khosravi-5.jpg\" alt=\"a sculpture with a stack of books, clouds, a building, and a woman's silhouette bound with gold cords\" class=\"wp-image-474105\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cSuspended\u201d (2026), acrylic on canvas mounted on wood panel, acrylic on wood cutout, acrylic on shaped wood panel, leather cord, rubber cord, plexiglass, 27 1\/2 x 30 x 19 inches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While altarpieces have historically been utilized to share stories of the divine through visual depictions, Khosravi instead turns inward. She lives and works in Stamford, Connecticut, and her homesickness and longing for a changed Iran are strong. Large-scale works like \u201cBearing\u201d portray a seated woman buttressing a Persian building, thick, black, oil-like liquid seeping from its foundation. <\/p>\n<p><em>What Remains<\/em> was already in progress before the U.S. war against Iran, the gallery shares. The works are therefore not in response to this particular conflict but rather a timely acknowledgment of what it means to live in a region continually in crisis. As always, Khosravi reminds us that even amid chaos, destruction, and government overreach that outlasts any singular emergency, beauty and self-empowerment can still trigger a new paradigm.<\/p>\n<p><em>What Remains<\/em> runs through July 2 in New York.
