Hossein Khosrojerdi, a painter, graphic designer, and cartoonist, was born in Tehran. Although he followed different approaches in the later periods of his career, he is still considered one of the prominent "revolutionary art" artists due to the credit of his first period of artwork.

He started his art education at Tehran Fine Arts Academy. Then, in 1972, he entered the Faculty of Fine Arts at Tehran university and studied painting. He was one of the founders of the visual arts center of the Hozeh Honari institute. This institute was established around 1979 under the name of the Islamic Cultural Movement Center on the initiative of Tahereh Safarzadeh. After a few months, it was renamed the Islamic Thought and Art Field and joined the Islamic Advertisement Organization at the beginning of the 1980s. This was a safe center for artists associated with social and political movements during and after the revolution. He was also one of the founding members of the Iranian Painters Association. He later immigrated to England in 2008 and settled in London. Khosrojerdi has also been an active and successful artist in poster design. The poster he designed for Mohsen Makhmalbaf's movie "Peddler" in 1987 won him the Fajr Festival award. Also, during the revolution's first decade, Khosrojerdi's caricatures were published in the Keyhan newspaper, weekly Etelaat magazine, and other press. In 1991, he won the first Iran painting biennial, and in the same year, he won the plaque of honor at the Moscow International Peace Exhibition. Khosrojerdi's works were exhibited at Sharjah Festival in 2001 as a group exhibition. This artist has presented his works in other group exhibitions in the United States, Italy, England, UAE, etc. His artworks were displayed in a group exhibition in Tehran's Eyvan Gallery in 2016. Also, his famous revolutionary paintings were present in the "Mirror in the Mirror'' exhibition held in the Museum of Contemporary Art in 2021, focusing on the art of the revolution.

In his early paintings, Khosrojerdi dealt with social, political, and religious themes, so he was considered among the "painters of the revolution." In metaphorical language, he expressed concepts such as evil, fall, liberation, etc., in that period. Since the beginning of the 2000s, he has continued allegorizing using the combined techniques of painting, photography, and digital printing media, but with a different look at humans; his banded people in the similarity of their form and action, as if embodying their shared destiny.
