Arghavan Khosravi in ‘Four’ at Yossi Milo Gallery

A male authority figure crumbles as he leads three young women toward a shattered monolith in Arghavan Khosravi’s lushly painted ‘Mesmerized, Listen to the Big Brother’ at Yossi Milo Gallery in Chelsea.  Though eerily uniform and restrained by shackles connected to earbuds around their necks, the women are real and may free themselves as the illusion ahead of them breaks apart.  (On view through April 27th).

Arghavan Khosravi, Mesmerized, Listen to the Big Brother, acrylic, cement and colored pencil on found wood block printed fabric and mounted on wood panel, 52 ¼ x 39 ¼ inches, 2019.
