* Payam Qelichy Participates in A Present Tense in London
Payam Qelichy, represented by Bavan Gallery, is participating in A Present Tense: Contemporary Artists from Iran, a group exhibition presented at Ab-Anbar Gallery in London from 19 to 26 September 2026.
Bringing together works by more than 100 artists and contributions from around 20 independent galleries and art spaces, the exhibition presents a broad selection of contemporary artistic practices developed in Iran. The project was organised with the support of O Gallery in Tehran, which coordinated the selection and collection of works from participating galleries.
Qelichy’s participation places his practice within this international presentation of contemporary artists working across different media and approaches. The exhibition aims to create a direct connection between artists, galleries, and audiences in London, with proceeds returning directly to participating artists and galleries.
