Discover new works by #ShivaAhmadi in The Body Politic, an online viewing room now online. In her latest paintings, the Iranian-American artist mines the expressive potential of paint while exploring the body’s relationship to trauma and anxiety. Well-known for exquisitely crafted paintings, sculptures, and digital animations that use formal beauty to seduce viewers into scenes of conflict and chaos, Ahmadi’s recent works are introspective, intimate, and personal. Charged with emotion, these latest paintings illuminate a different kind of stress, one borne from a heightened awareness of the body, its susceptibilities and vulnerabilities, and the self-consciousness that arises from constant scrutiny.
