SHOHREH MEHRAN
(b. 1957, Ardabil) is a painter and graphic designer based in Tehran. Often communicating by depicting absence rather than presence, Shohreh Mehran’s images capture and distill contemporary Iranian scenes and people, particularly in the urban and social context of Tehran. Shohreh Mehran graduated with a degree in Graphic Arts from the Tehran College of Arts and she has exhibited widely in Iran. Her work has also been shown in group shows in Europe and the US including the Etemad Gallery at Slick, Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Brigitte Schenk Gallery (Cologne) and the United Nations Headquarters (New York).
