Avish Khebrehzadeh
(b, Iran)
Avish Khebrehzadeh was born in Iran, afterwards lived in Madagascar, United Kingdom, United States, and Italy.
Khebrehzadeh’s work strongly reflects a sense of dislocation and agitation resulting from her experiences living in different countries throughout her life.
In her work, she calls forth an imagined reality through the use of unusual media such as olive oil and resin on paper. However her drawings, paintings, and animation are firmly attached to her background. A sense of mystery in the artist’s work bestows a space for the viewer’s imagination, as the artist says: “Mystery is good… I don’t want things definable.”
Khebrehzadeh studied painting at the Accademia Di Belle Arti Di Roma and photography at the Corcoran College of Art in Washington, DC. Khebrehzadeh participated in The International Istanbul Biennial (), the Cologne Kunst Film Biennale () and the Biennale di Venezia () where she received the Leone d’ Oro Prize

Avish Khebrehzadeh
Born in Iran, Avish Khebrehzadeh has lived in Madagascar, UK, Italy and the United States. The experience of migrating to different countries is expressed by her work, which is imbued with a strong sense of dislocation and unease.
Khebrehzadeh’s work extends to drawing, paintings and animation and is realised through the use of unusual media, for instance olive oil and resin on paper. The chosen subjects often invoke an imagined reality, which is nevertheless strongly tied to the artist’s experience and her geographical and psychological disquiet. Although concrete and accessible Khebrehzadeh’s visual vocabulary retains a sense of mystery, which leaves space for our imagination. As the artist says: “Mystery is good… I don’t want things definable.”
Her most recent solo exhibitions have been held at National Gallery of Art, Washington (); M77 Gallery, Milan () Fondazione Volume!, Rome (); Ursula Blickle

Introduction
Throughout history, Iran has often been referred to as the cradle of humanity and culture. Although its successive authoritarian regimes have inhibited artists’ development, especially after the revolution when most artists had to leave the country, the country’s geopolitical position has always fostered art. Nowadays, despite the economic crisis and the US government sanctions, more and more artists and galleries are participating in Tehran’s artistic scene. In the same way, many investors are encouraging production and exhibition. As many Western galleries such as Perrotin, Lisson Gallery, Thaddeus Roppac, Rodolphe Janssen or Gagosian are representing Iranian artists in response to a global growing interest in the artistic mittpunkt East en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film, we decided to explore the Persian historical background and a selection of ten contemporary artists from the region.
