Following a voluntary hiatus from the art world, Katayoun Vaziri started painting again, mainly on Sundays and more regularly throughout the pandemic. Her 'Sunday paintings' are her personal visual diary. Vaziri depicts ordinary people, often including herself in ordinary settings, completing everyday activities. With her Memories of a Bourgeoisie Series and her Repetition Series amongst others, Vaziri reflects on each individual as equally a subject and an object of capitalism, as political agents of social transformation who are nonetheless subjects to socio-economic inequalities. With her oeuvre, she reflects on how ordinary people may have to forego their ideals for the sake of survival. Somewhere between empathy and critique, her miniature works are playful, yet engaged, like postcards filled with familiar references that tell the story of each and everyone of us.

Born in Tehran and now living and working between New York City and Mexico City, Katayoun Vaziri graduated from Yale University in 2009 with an MFA in Painting. Since her graduation, Vaziri has had solo and group exhibitions in New York, London, Mexico City and Dubai and has invited to prestigious residencies including the Skowhegan School of Painting and Drawings in Maine and Eyebeam in Brooklyn.

In continuity with the source of inspiration for her artworks and her active social engagement, Katayoun Vaziri has committed to hold no monetary gain from the sale of her artworks. The artist's proceeds will be donated to carefully selected and vetted community building organizations. For any further queries regarding these causes, please contact us.

Sky is the Limit: Worker, Orange Wall and Amlo

Born in 1992 in Seoul, South Korea, Arang Choi lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Studying at Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts under famed professors such as Daniel Richter, Choi’s work interrogates our understanding of existence in general. The anthropomorphic mythical creature appears in a variety of forms throughout Choi’s work but never in exactly the same way and invokes a spiritual-religious notion of animism that positions humans, animals and nature on equal planes. Both otherworldly and fantastical, Choi’s compositions bring together the definable and undefinable in a narrative of mystical fiction inspired by her infinite dream stage.
