Arvin Golrokh – Bicharegan

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

Primo Marella Gallery Milan is pleased to present Bicharegan, a new solo exhibition by Arvin Golrokh, curated by Demetrio Paparoni, opening on Thursday, November 13th at 6 pm.

In Bicharegan – a Persian term meaning “the miserable” or “the wretched” – Arvin Golrokh develops a visual inquiry into the dynamics of exclusion and marginality, exploring the traces of structural violence that run through both past and present. The works document fragmented bodies, corroded faces, and suspended presences: material witnesses of a denied history. Painting here takes shape as an ethical device: the matter, intense and corporeal, restores to pain its physicality without any spectacular mediation.
The series offers neither consolation nor idealization; each canvas reflects on the relationship between visibility and responsibility, between collective memory and contemporary inertia.

Golrokh articulates a poetics of ruin, in which material density becomes language, and the pictorial gesture acts as a tool of resistance and testimony. Bicharegan stands as a meditation on the act of seeing, questioning the viewer about the role of art in representing suffering and preserving historical memory.
