Kour Pour (born 1987, Exeter, Devon) is a British artist of part Iranian descent based in Los Angeles.
His father owned a small carpet shop in England, and Pour would spend time there as a child. He also often travelled to Los Angeles to visit family members on his father’s side, and would ultimately move there to attend Otis College of Art and Design (BFA, 2010). He is perhaps best known for a series of carpet paintings, which are still a part of his practice. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
Kour Pour’s unique talent lies in the way he translates intricately-patterned carpets onto panelled surfaces using his signature multi-step, labor-intensive method. Every painting is based on a particular carpet that Pour has researched from exhibitions and auction catalogues, and each design incorporates a range of techniques, including scrupulous hand painting, silkscreen printing, and applying paint layers with a broomstick.
