Professor Ahmadi’s first Los Angeles solo show at Shoshana Wayne

  • by Staff

Professor Shiva Ahmadi’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles will be presented by Shoshana Wayne Gallery this fall. “Tangle” features new paintings layered with screenprints which focus on female figures immersed in fantastical landscapes of land and water. Ahmadi’s paintings serve as a vehicle for truth-telling where luminous colors and mystical figures intertwine with violent imagery to illuminate pressing global issues such as migration, war, and the brutal treatment of marginalized people.

“Tangle” will be on view from Oct. 19 through Dec.14, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 4-6 pm.
