Renowned twin brothers and accomplished artists, Hassan and Hossein Rowshanbakht, presented “VISIBLE INVISIBLE,” an immersive exhibition that captured a profound decade-long journey through the lens of art. Born in the culturally rich city of Kashan, Iran, in 1991, the Rowshanbakht brothers cultivated their distinctive artistic vision, fusing the realms of photography, design, and curation.

“VISIBLE INVISIBLE” stood as a testament to their relentless quest for discovery within the fabric of our surroundings. What initially began as a visual exploration aimed at illuminating the often-overlooked facets of our world transformed into a remarkable collection of form-centered compositions. These compositions bore a distinctive, unifying signature, born from collaborative efforts to reveal the unseen and emphasize the invisible. While the invisible might have seemed elusive, this exhibition showcased its captivating purity and affinity to alluring forms, commanding greater attention and presence than ever before.
