This May, ART FOR CHANGE is excited to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by featuring a collection of works from a multigenerational, international group of award-winning, contemporary artists.
We’re honored to work with these artists year-round and highlight them during the month of May to underscore the importance of cultural visibility and showcase the endless influence of AAPI artists.
Arghavan Khosravi is known for imagery that intimately centers the female perspective, drawing on memories of her coming-of-age in Tehran, where liberal values and theocratic rule coexist. Blending traditional Persian literary, architectural, and decorative motifs with Greco-Roman forms and contemporary objects, she crafts real and surreal scenes that convey layered, ambiguous narratives across time and place.
Xiao Wang is a Chinese painter based in Brooklyn, NY. He earned his BFA from the Glasgow School of Art and his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Known for his deep, iridescent color palettes and moody atmospheres, Wang blends classical figuration with contemporary techniques, layering abstracted figures against flat planes of vivid, realist natural forms. His work engages personal and social themes, creating striking contrasts of light, color, and form.
