Azita Panahpour

Azita Panahpour (born in Tehran, Iran) is a contemporary abstract artist living in New York. In her Shattered Poem paintings, she explores feelings of displacement, loss, and identity, by creating a dynamic gestural vocabulary drawn from the Farsi alphabet. The alphabet’s sculptural curves, lines, and shapes become the basis of a visual dialogue, built with variations in scale, repetition, and sense of ephemeral movement. The images—set in multi-layered, distressed backgrounds—dance, fall, intertwine, and emerge with a deep emotional statement that transcends any literary expression. The Shattered Poems are a collision of past and present, loss and hope, culture and art, an individual depiction of a universal sentiment.
 
A multi-disciplinary artist, Azita’s works are in private and corporate collections. Her series was selected for a solo exhibition at the National Arts Club New York 2023 as well as multiple group shows including Powerhouse Arts- Ad Art Show 2023, The Other Art Fair, 2020, 2018, 2017, Ad Art Show at Sotheby’s 2018 and in the Oculus 2020, 2021
