The artist's debut U.S. solo show, "Opera Rose," is breathtaking, mature and provocative—a must see.
London-based Iranian artist Fa Razavi paints astonishing sculptural bodies and a desire to interrogate the gaze and limitations we impose on them. "Opera Rose," now on at Palo Gallery and curated by Kollectiv Collective, includes a succession of narrative images contained behind a chromatic veil of haunting hues. These include baby pink and eerie viridian that together create a phantasmagorical décor and atmospheric stage to propel imbricated characters and scenes in eight large-scale paintings.
