Through her paintings, Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi brings new energy and perspectives to material and thematic traditions from throughout art history, including the practice of abstraction and the role of the sublime in contemporary art. Her unique artistic practice merges the conventions and techniques of Western abstraction with the visual language of Persian art and architecture. The complexity and distinctiveness of Ilchi’s work comes from her commitment to material exploration, her deep engagement with art history, and the incorporation of her unique personal history.
Here the waving flag. Here the other world. is the first presentation of Ilchi’s work to highlight the full breadth of her practice, bringing together artwork from the last fifteen years. Learn more about the exhibition and Ilchi’s work in this tour with the exhibition’s curator.
