About
Kamran Fallahpour, PhD, is a neuroscientist, sculptor, composer, and musician whose work explores the boundaries between pure form and dysregulation of form, music and noise, and the meaning that emerges from chaos, disorder, and true randomness. His most recent work is titled Arrival: Consciousness at the Edge of Chaos. This large bronze sculpture was originally casted in bronze, later enlarged and 3D printed in bronze, and finally carved with robotic drills during a milling process that was designed in a 3D modelling environment in order to achieve the desired effect. The artist also composed accompanying music for this sculpture that captures the reminiscence of the same sonic archetypes building a contextual fabric and accompanying the visual experience.
In addition to exhibiting, Fallahpour's work is in private collections in the U.S. and Europe. For sales inquiries or to commission an original artwork, please contact the artist at kamranfall@gmail.com
Medium
Fallahpour often works with plaster, applying it to steel rods and frames, an artistic process that brings a spontaneity to his vision, a sense of immediacy as he creates a work before the plaster dries. His finished pieces are inspired in the moment by this dynamic artistic process, by the tactile sensation of the plaster, and give rise to forms that explore what it means to perceive.
Neuroscience & Art
Fallahpour’s interest and training in neuroscience and psychology adds an additional layer to his work as he incorporates the latest findings in brain science, and ponders the plasticity of our perception and the realities we construct. Central to his artistic vision, is the way an artist changes his medium to create art – and how, in turn, the finished art changes the creator, and the viewer. Fallahpour’s work is informed by sculptors Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, and Hans Josephsohn, as well as minimalist and contemporary movements in art. However, his sculptures retain a distinctive quality, a unique sensibility, one of ephemeral humanity, discernible throughout his series of work.
