Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist at the Katonah Museum of Art
Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist is the first major U.S. museum survey of the contemporary artist Ali Banisadr. Organized by the Katonah Museum of Art (KMA), this exhibition encompasses nearly twenty years of the artist’s singular practice, from 2006 to the present, across the mediums of painting, drawing, and printmaking.
Drawing on childhood experiences of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-88) in his native Tehran, where explosions and other aural disturbances were commonplace, Banisadr painstakingly and intuitively builds complex compositions that exude a vitality at once turbulent and celebratory.
The exhibition opens on March 16 and runs through June 29. Museum hours are: Wednesday to Friday & Sunday: 12pm to 5pm. Saturday: 10am to 5pm.
