Morteza Khakshoor, Black Pool, 2020
Etching with aquatint and chine-collé, 39 x 34cm,edition of 5
Iranian artist Morteza Khakshoor’s practice explores – in his words – ‘male behaviours’. Rich in narrative, his figurative paintings, drawings and prints take inspiration from myriad sources including Renaissance Old Masters, vintage cinema, male sexuality and the turbulent history of his home country.
Emigrating from Iran to the US to study in 2010 was an opportunity for Morteza to develop his printmaking practice; he subsequently undertook residencies in California, Vermont and Boston. His etchings – with their pared-down palette – allow the artist play with conceptual and formal ideas. This unframed print has a graphic quality and uses a minimal palette to add impact.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
