Andisheh Avini (born in 1974 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, lives and works in New York, NY, USA)

Avini’s work embodies a nuanced visual autobiography of juxtaposed allusions to his Iranian and American heritage.
Mediums associated with traditional Persian craft—which often clash with quotations from Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, and other Western art movements—form the foundation of his fluid oscillations. These collisions evoke the gradual stylistic evolutions that accompany cross-cultural assimilation, as well as the unpredictable visual conflations of memories.
