The Los Angeles painter, known for producing canvases of sad sack men and demented babies, tackles icky motherhood in new work at David Kordansky Gallery.
“She has such a virtuosic hand, such a facile handling of oil point,” says Mueller.
Born in Tehran, in 1981, she and her mother moved to the U.S. in 1994 after her parents divorced. Mother and daughter moved not to Los Angeles, with its large community of expat Iranians, or some other major urban center, but to the town of Monmouth in western Oregon , where they joined an uncle who was teaching at a local university.
At Oregon State she found supportive professors who encouraged students to be independent-minded and pursue the topics that interested them. Already, at that point, she was drawn to themes that were provocative. “Kreuzberg has all of these tea rooms — they are social clubs for men, not inhabited by women,” she says. “They have glass, it’s frosted. You can’t see through it. I’m walking by and this is during the Iraq war and the Kurdish situation in Iraq and I’mIt was an attempt to channel these rooms, forbidden to her as a woman, that began to spill forth on canvas when she went to graduate school at Yale University.
“I started thinking about American painting, the language of minimalism, and thought about infiltrating that,” she says. “It was about my practice infiltrating the history of American painting practice. The characters of my paintings also infiltrating, dirtying up, pissing on minimalism and abstraction — so giving them power to pop up in places where the figure had been excluded.”
