Jane Lombard Gallery is proud to announce representation of New-York based artist Azita Moradkhani. The gallery has been working closely with the artist since her 2023 debut solo show The Real Beneath. Moradkhani will be included in the upcoming group exhibition Facial Recognition curated by Barbara Pollack.
Azita Moradkhani was born in Tehran where she experienced Persian art and culture, as well as Iranian politics. The double exposure increased her sensitivity to the dynamics of vulnerability and violence that she now investigates in her art-making. Her work focuses on the contrast between masculine and feminine, power and vulnerability, the personal and political. Through delicate drawings and sculptural objects, she imbues intimate lingerie with embodied images of political uprisings, and historical and current events. Reflecting upon her own experiences as a woman in both Iran and in the U.S., Moradkhani’s work is a bridge between two worlds, inviting the viewer to consider standards of beauty, cultural norms, and traditions.
