He has had a solo exhibition in 2017 and four group exhibitions between 2017 and 2019. An art critic wrote about his works displayed in the solo exhibition "Suspicion's share": "This time Bahram Kalhornia appears on his life scene in an astonishing image; Kalhornia as a great and capable drawer. This time, the skilled sculptor of our time is exhibiting a collection of unconventional drawings that neither I nor any of us had seen and were unaware of, in A Gallery of Tehran. The power of the hand in the drawing is to engage the audience with highly influential and evocative combinations and themes that blend between ancient myths and powerful contemporary icons in an attempt to instill a new concept in the artistic expression".
