BIO
Born in 1996 in London, where she continues to live and work today, Iranian-British artist Sofia Yeganeh received a BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design in 2020. Working in mediums of embroidery, collage, and painting, Yeganeh’s practice is defined by expressive and instinctive characteristics as she deals with personal themes based around identity, human nature and the body, and the natural world. The natural form is a running thread in her oeuvre, particularly the female body and the way in which it is often depicted idealistically in the collective imagination and contemporary culture. Throughout her work, Yeganeh continues to contrast and juxtapose mediums, creating depth and adding nuance. Her most recent work, Interaction, is a series in which the artist experiments with different techniques to capture the movement of the body, creating stark contrasts between light and dark, motion and stasis, pushing the limits of perception to encapsulate that which emanates from the body beyond the visible. In this series, Yeganeh also uses thermal images to explore the emotional and energetic interaction between humans.
The artist’s work has been included in various international exhibitions, such as Flow, Dastan's Basement (Tehran, 2024); Revival I - XVIIIe siècle, Gowen Contemporary (Geneva, 2023); The Light of Woman, Lux Feminae (New York, 2022); and Visual Unpredictability, Patrick Parrish Gallery (New York, 2021).
