The fifth edition of “3 on 3” continues a program that has, from its inception, been dedicated to introducing young and emerging artists at O Gallery. With the gallery now operating on a single floor and presenting fewer exhibitions overall, sustaining this platform has become more important. Showcasing the work of emerging talents has always been central to O Gallery’s mission, and through this program we hope to reach a wider audience while supporting a broader community of artists.

The selected artists for the 5th edition in 2025 present a range of works, from sculpture to works of oil on canvas and new medias. It is noteworthy that none of them currently lives and works in Tehran. Hamidreza Farahnaki (b. 2000 Sonqor and Kolyai, Kermanshah) has experienced migration to another city (Karaj) and has recently completed his Bachelor’s degree and presented his first solo exhibition in Tehran. Arian Ghasempour (b. 1999 Mashhad) has continued his art education in Neyshabur near his hometown where he currently works as an artist, and this is the third presence of his works in Tehran. Jalal Ghayas Beygi (b. 1998 Tehran) has pursued his art education in Tehran and New York and now primarily works in the United States, with a focus on new media art.
