Atlanta-based artists Kristen Giorgi and Sheyda Mehrara have collaborated to open Impossible Currency (@impossiblecurrency). Here, you'll find a beautiful multipurpose art studio nestled Iin the heart of Buckhead Village that provides the ideal space for the Atlanta artistic community to relish in—We're just here to give you the inside scoop on the duo's new spot.
As the art studio’s name so perfectly illustrates, Impossible Currency comes from the shared belief that art is precious because of the stories, experiences and relationships that are integral in creating a piece of art. These influences are impossible to attach dollar signs to because they are priceless, yet the pieces themselves often become artifacts and tangible symbols of what the duo cherishes both individually and collectively. Atlantan artists Kristen Giorgi and Sheyda Mehrara’s works prove just that in their resplendent art studio that celebrates their renowned works. Though bonded through shared appreciation of design aesthetics, the two met through mutual friends. With Giorgi’s eye for texture alongside Mehrara’s subtle Parisian influence, the two tastes merge beautifully to produce edgy yet reflective artwork.
Doubling as both an art gallery and a workshop, the front of the studio showcases a refined setting to display artwork for sale, whereas the back serves as a creative workplace. This artsy duo also makes use of the front as an event space, conducive for social gatherings. For showcasing purposes, the interior is speckled with antique furniture to allow collectors to envision each piece in their own setting. In staging their artwork in such a clever way, the duo was able to intersect their passions of art and interior design. The team hopes Impossible Currency, acting as an oasis for Atlanta’s artistic community, can work to not only inspire their own work, but also instill new ideas for those who stop by.
