Contemporary Art: Toba Khedoori @ David Zwirner


  (Drivebycuriosity) - David Zwirner belongs to the power houses in the world of art. Two galleries of global art empire are in Manhattan`s trendy Chelsea district. I did not care much about the hyped Tilman photographs there, but I enjoyed seeing the art work of Toba Khedoori (davidzwirner ).

The press release explains: "Through a meticulous, time-consuming process that blends painting and drawing, Khedoori creates intricate, contemplative compositions depicting façades, plants, grids, windows, and doorways, among other subjects, that appear arrested in time and space—as though existing in a liminal state. Primarily done on immense sheets of waxed paper, her work espouses a neutral language of objecthood and natural forms versus one of figurative or gestural expressivity and narrative forms."
