DON’T MISS THESE 6 EXCITING UP-AND-COMING ARTISTS WITH NEW WORK YOU CAN CHECK OUT—VIRTUALLY—ALL MONTH
In raucously colorful large-format paintings, Soraya Sharghi builds her own 21st-century mythology. The artist finds inspiration both in tales of archaic matriarchal societies and by reconfiguring the ancient visual folklores of the East and the West by placing female figures at the centers of these age-old narratives. She infuses these with new life melding them with memories of childhood fairy tales, Persian miniature painting, Japanese anime, and contemporary literature.
Soraya Sharghi’s “Seven Labours” in on view online through May 23, 2020, at Setareh Gallery.
