Late last night Greenaway Art Gallery (Gagprojects) announced the profound loss of Iranian-born Australian artist Hossein Valamanesh (1949 – 2022) after he suffered a major heart attack on 15 January.
After studying fine art in Tehran from 1967-1970, Valamanesh emigrated to Australia in his mid-twenties and have since then established a stellar career over the past four decades, having graduated from the South Australian School of Art in 1977.
