Nasim Hantehzadeh: ‘Ray of Light’

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

18 November – 7 January 2023

 

Ray of Light’ reflects on displacement, spirituality and sexuality through abstract forms. Iranian-American artist Nasim Hantehzadeh’s depictions capture human body parts intertwined with irregular, colourful shapes which reference cave paintings, indigenous Mexican art, and ancient Persian rug patterns. Along with earthy tones from oil, pastel and graphite, Hantehzadeh uses phosphorescent pigments in their works, highlighting key elements to form a series of intriguing images.
