Kamrooz Aram is included in the group exhibition Painting Energy: The Alex Katz Collection at the Portland Museum of Art, ME, on view from May 23–September 14, 2025.
The Portland Museum of Art's press release follows:
For over 70 years, Alex Katz has boldly pursued figurative painting, perfecting his disciplined approach across a storied career. This unique creative vision has also guided the selection of works collected by his foundation. The Alex Katz Foundation Collection includes artists with strong ties to the state (Lois Dodd, Rackstraw Downes, Fairfield Porter), leading figures in American modernism (Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper), today’s rising artists (Kamrooz Aram, Chase Hall), and major figures in the global art sphere (Marlene Dumas, Philip Guston, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke). These gifts establish the PMA as a center for the study and display of modern and contemporary art to be shared with visitors in collection galleries, study room visits, and special exhibitions.
