More information

Vanessa Safavi surveys bodily form and how it can be expressed through material and elements often connected with exterior functionality. Safavi combines several layers of art historical references along with cultural references, mirroring her own background. The artist uses the myriad of cultural influences, married with her constant travel, expressing these in her approach to sculpture. Working with hard metals to create soft properties. Here, originality mingles with exoticism, pooling into a colorful pop culture take on minimalism. Allowing these ‘bodies’ space to breath, deliberately playing with the contradictions that arise in her practice. The sculptures represent a somber approach to a vivid exploration of creating a dialogue between the exterior of say a building and the familiar embrace of a recognizable entity, a safe space.
