Upcoming Exhibition: KOKTEL
KOKTEL
Opening night celebration:
October 3 — 7:00 - 11:00 PM
2270 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA
Koktel is a new body of work by Iranian artist Yalda Sepahpour, centered around the release of her fully illustrated Farsi-language cocktail recipe book of the same name. More than two years in the making, the project brings together Sepahpour’s drawings with cocktail recipes inspired by Iranian, West Asian, and Eastern Mediterranean flavors, creating an intersection of art, culture, memory, and the ritual of gathering.
The exhibition extends the world of Koktel beyond the pages of the book, presenting a new collection of paintings alongside furniture, ceramics, and bar-inspired objects. Together, the works create an immersive environment where visual art and hospitality intersect, transforming the familiar ritual of sharing a drink into a space for storytelling, cultural memory, and connection.
Rooted in Sepahpour’s broader visual language and exploration of femininity, nature, identity, and cultural memory, Koktel introduces a playful and sensorial dimension to her practice. The book becomes both an artistic object and a vessel for cultural storytelling, bringing together image, language, flavor, and shared experience.
The exhibition opens Saturday, October 3, 2026, with an opening night celebration from 7–11 PM, and will be on view through November 3, 2026, from 10 AM–6 PM, at 2270 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90006. Admission is free and open to the public.

Carnival of Dreams
September 26 - October 31 2025
8750 Holloway Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90069
Maryam Taba Studios presents Carnival of Dreams, an exhibition by Iranian artist Adel Younesi, whose surreal paintings transform memory and myth into living theatre. In this series, elephants stride across imagined landscapes, Farrah Diva and the Shah return as spectral icons, and human figures drift among animals and color, suspended between the real and the unreal.
Each canvas unfolds like a dream masquerade — strange, poetic, and luminous — where history is recast as spectacle and the familiar becomes otherworldly. Younesi’s work invites us to step into this shifting carnival and linger in its dreamlike embrace.
Carnival of Dreams opens Friday, September 26, 2025, with an evening reception from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at Maryam Taba Studios in West Hollywood. Admission is free and open to the public.

Four in Bloom

8750 Holloway Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90069
Maryam Taba Studios presents Four in Bloom, a group exhibition featuring works by Elika Ebrahimi Ghajar, Rayka Milanian, Rooha Dabaghian, and Azin Baghernia. Curated by Maryam Taba, the show brings together four women artists whose practices are rooted in the quiet rhythms of nature — where trees, petals, landscapes, and interior spaces unfold with grace and intention.
Through oil and acrylic, abstraction and still life, each artist explores a visual language of memory, femininity, and slow transformation. From symbolic trees and wheatfields to delicate vessels and gestural fields of color, their works form a shared visual garden — distinct yet in conversation.
As part of the opening experience, guests are invited to create their own small floral arrangement to take home — a simple gesture of beauty and presence that echoes the exhibition’s themes of care and cyclical growth.
Four in Bloom opens Saturday, June 30, 2025, with a reception from 6:30–9:00 PM at Maryam Taba Studios in West Hollywood, and remains on view through July 20, 2025.
