Moshiri
Inspired by Pop Art, conceptual art, comic books and even advertising, Moshiri’s work builds a critique of the effects of western capitalism on Iranian culture and tradition.
Born in 1963 in Shiraz, Iran, he spent twelve years in Los Angeles where he graduated in 1984 from the California Institute for the Arts before moving back to his home country. Moshiri’s research includes painting, sculpture and needlework. In the collective imagination, Moshiri is most closely associated with the artistic practice that made him famous: using simple kitchen knives, in different sizes and colours, he creates huge installations imbued with irony.
The artist’s works in the Pinault Collection were shown at the "Le Monde vous appartient" (“The World Belongs to You”) exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 2011-2013.
