Victor Gallery will host a new popup exhibition, Patterns of Passage / Caravans of Tapestries, showcasing the work of artist Firouz FarmanFarmaian. Curated by We R The Nomads, the exhibition opens on Feb. 22 with a reception in the presence of the artist.
The exhibit will feature a series of textile works and abstract paintings that examine themes of nomadic displacement, memory, and cultural identity. Expanding on pieces from a recent Tribeca exhibition, FarmanFarmaian’s latest work builds on his signature “post-tribal” aesthetic, incorporating traditional craftsmanship into contemporary visual narratives. The collection invites viewers to explore the deep connections woven into each tapestry and the stories they tell about movement, exile, and heritage.
FarmanFarmaian, born in Tehran in 1973, is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, textiles, film, and music. A descendant of Iran’s Qajar dynasty, he has lived in exile since the 1979 Iranian Revolution and considers himself stateless. His artistic practice is rooted in history and memory, drawing inspiration from tribal traditions while reinterpreting them through a modern lens.
Victor Gallery, known for its curated selection of fine rugs, tapestries, and decorative arts, will host the opening reception from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 22 at its New York City location.
