Zahra Nazari: Meet the Artist Reception

Jan. 19, 2017, 04:30 pm
Meet the Artist Reception: Thursday, January 19, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. Gallery talk 5:30 p.m.
Spatial ambiguity over the course of cultural change is the explored theme of Nazari’s paintings and installations. Structures both ancient and contemporary are merged into abstract, organic forms with floating, collapsing and shifting environments. This unification is represented with both laws and chaos to convey the unsettled sensations caused by the transitions between different cultures.
Zahra Nazari was born in Iran. She received her MFA in Painting/Drawing from State University of New York, New Paltz; and her BFA from the School of Art & Architecture, Tabriz Islamic Art University, Iran.
