Soul Mate is a two-person exhibition of Kimia Ferdowsi Kline and Farshad Farzankia. Both artists are Iranian, while Ferdowski lives and works in Brooklyn, N.Y., USA, and Farshad lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Though the artists' approaches differ, they are both concerned with questions of abstraction, figuration, and the iconographic body’s experience from intimate and graphic perspectives. 68projects is excited to participate in this conversation about how figurative painting holds resonance across social and personal contexts. They create a dialogue about how the personal becomes political through charged emotional tensions between two figures in an embrace and two figures across the table in a discussion. Both painters remind us that the conversation between me and the other power is never out of the question in this dialectic of intimacy and negotiation.
