Kamran Fallahpour

Biography:

Kamran Fallahpour, PhD, is a neuroscientist, sculptor, composer, and musician based in New York City. He works in various artistic media with a special focus on sculpture. His multidisciplinary background inspires him to create artwork that offers immersive, cross-modal experiences for the viewer. His most recent work, Arrival: Consciousness at the Edge of Chaos (2023), exemplifies this artistry. To accompany the large bronze sculpture, Fallahpour composed original music that extend the sculpture’s narrative into the realm of sound and invites the audience to experience the piece on multiple sensory levels.

Fallahpour’s work has been exhibited in several venues and is part of private collections across the United States and Europe.

Medium & Process

Fallahpour frequently works with plaster and applies it to steel rods and frames. This method introduces an element of spontaneity and a sense of urgency to his creative process as he must shape the piece quickly before the plaster dries. Fallahpour draws inspiration in the moment from this dynamic process and the tactile sensation of the plaster, allowing the work to organically evolve in real-time and give rise to stylized sculpted figures. Reduced to their most basic and minimal form, his sculptures convey subtle but powerful expressions that evoke depth beneath their simplicity.

Neuroscience

Fallahpour’s interest and professional training in neuroscience and psychology add an additional layer to his work as he utilizes art as a medium for exploring themes related to the fragility of human nature, resilience, stillness, transcendance, and plasticity of perception. His work also explores the boundaries between opposing forces—order and chaos, music and noise, form and formlessness—and how meaning can be found from their interplay.

Central to his artistic vision is this recursive idea of mutual transformation: the artist changes their medium to create art and in turn, the finished work changes both the artist and the viewer.

Statement:

“My artistic practice emerges from a lifelong fascination with transformation—how matter becomes form, how perception becomes meaning, and how moments of stillness can reveal something essential about the human experience.

Working primarily in sculpture, I am drawn to the tension between opposing forces: order and chaos, structure and spontaneity, permanence and impermanence. Many of my pieces begin with simple materials—plaster, steel, bronze—yet the creative process itself is often unpredictable. The immediacy of working with plaster requires rapid decisions and an openness to discovery. Rather than imposing a fixed outcome, I allow the material to participate in the evolution of the work, revealing forms that emerge through gesture, intuition, and chance.

My background in neuroscience has deeply influenced this approach. Both science and art seek to understand how we construct reality from incomplete information. As a neuroscientist, I study the remarkable plasticity of the human brain; as an artist, I explore the plasticity of perception itself. I am interested in the spaces between certainty and ambiguity, where the mind actively participates in creating meaning.

The human figure appears frequently in my work, often reduced to its most essential elements. These simplified forms are not portraits of specific individuals but reflections of universal human states: vulnerability, resilience, longing, contemplation, connection, and transcendence. By stripping away unnecessary detail, I hope to create space for viewers to encounter their own experiences within the work.

Increasingly, my practice has expanded beyond sculpture into multisensory experiences that combine visual form, music, and sound. I am interested in how different sensory modalities interact and how art can become a meeting place between what we see, hear, feel, and imagine. Works such as Arrival: Consciousness at the Edge of Chaos extend sculptural narratives into sound, inviting viewers to engage with the work through multiple dimensions of perception.

Ultimately, my work is an exploration of mutual transformation. The artist changes the material, the material changes the artist, and the completed work continues its journey by transforming those who encounter it. In this sense, art is not an object but a relationship—a living dialogue between form, perception, and consciousness”.

Statement:

“In my visual research, I am motivated by the life pulsating in the undercarriage of our environment. On the surface of the painting, it is the footprint of mankind. It serves as a fossil of a species of life that burnt itself out and left behind a trail of detritus from man’s bad stewardship. The underlayers of the painting serve as the dwelling of the life that survived mankind. It is mutated and healing itself as it was pushed deeper into the surface of the Earth but has still fights to emerge from the surface. Formally, these pieces are both spatial and topographical cross section of space.

In my process I utilize both ancient and contemporary media. I start my process utilizing wood and 3D resin printing. I am drawn to the malleability and physicality of wood. I am also drawing to the process and infinite possibilities of 3D printing. I further modify the form with encaustics. Encaustics allow me to add and subtract to modify the form above and below the surface.”

Antonio Galvan

Biography:

Antonio Galván López was born on May 19, 1980 in Mexico City. At the age of 19, he immigrated to the United States in search of new opportunities. He began his career in the art world as an assistant to the Spanish painter and sculptor Manolo Valdés. He worked with him for 24 years, though he had little knowledge in the field of art. Over time, his interest and love for art grew deeply. What was initially a challenge to maintain his job became an essential part of his daily life. Each obstacle became an opportunity to expand his artistic knowledge and skills. Antonio mastered various techniques, which includes working in bronze casting, glass sculptures, ceramics, resins, wood, alabaster, and painting. Today, he remains eager to explore new forms of artistic expression. His works reflect undeniable passion, tireless dedication, and a constant pursuit of excellence in art, understanding the importance of continuous learning and evolution on his path to artistic mastery.

Statement:

My artistic practice stems from a deep need to explore material as a medium of profound expression. From bronze to glass, and through wood, ceramics, and resins, each material I work with embodies a duality: strength and fragility, permanence and transformation. My work seeks that meeting point between the tangible and intangible, the physical and the emotional.

Over more than two decades of learning and creating, I’ve come to understand that art is not only form but experience. I aim to provoke a pause in the viewer—a reflection on time, space, and our existence within them. I do not seek concrete answers, but rather to open a window for personal interpretation, allowing each piece to resonate uniquely with those who encounter it.

After 24 years of working under the mentorship of Manolo Valdés, my visual language has evolved into a constant search for balance between technique, intuition, and artistic growth. Today I continue on this path with the same dedication, pushing the boundaries of both material and symbolism, committed to a vision that transforms the everyday into the poetic.
