Born in Tehran, Iran in 1979 Fallah received an MFA in painting from UCLA (2005) and was named by LA Weekly as one of the top ten emerging artists in the region. His canvasses feel messy yet are skillfully painted with dynamic color. Complex compositions that seem slightly influenced by cubism and decoration, often including flowers, and collage are titled in a poignant/ cryptic way that feels heavy with meaning... or completely unrelated. Fallah also makes sculpture/ installations, crafting this signature messiness with strong geometry and bright colors. He uses neon (or at least really intense color), pattern, and geometry, and makes forts out of pillows... so it goes without saying that I’m in love.
