The following year, he won the Art Research and Development Award from the London Arts Council. The same year, his works were displayed at the Car Boot Fair Art Fair.

Attending prestigious art fairs such as Zoo Art Fair, Armory Show (New York), Art Dubai, Artissima (Turin), Art021 (Shanghai), FIAC (Paris), Asia Today (Paris), and... is part of this artist's prolific career. The works of this artist have been presented and sold many times in prestigious and significant international auctions such as Sotheby's, Christie's, Bonham's, Tehran Auction, etc.
The works of photography, sculpture, performance, and video installation of Reza Ramesh are created based on violence, war, and inequalities in contemporary culture. Deconstructing identities and reviewing and criticizing the structure of contemporary culture for exposing the fragility of the traditional concept of social order and identity is also one of the main themes of Aramesh's Art. His interest in the history of art, cinema, literature, and contemporary socio-political issues has led him to choose a diverse range of media and photography. Figures displaced from their original context and reconstructed – which the artist calls act – are an integral part of Aramesh's work, and the original works are often taken from conflict zones around the world. Precisely the same areas that appear every day in printed media and television. The numbered collections called "Konesh," which began in 2008, include black and white photographs and colorful sculptures showing space and bold time destruction. These works' classical and dramatic scenes find their incongruous space in luxurious English historic houses and museums. For example, a shadow falls between the eye and the object... It is based on mentalities that depict wars, conflicts, and their immediate consequences. In this series, reconstructed scenes of the Middle East and Vietnam conflicts from the 1960s are recorded in black and white.
