TOBA KHEDOORI


Toba Khedoori (born 1964) is an Australian-born artist of Iraqi heritage, known primarily for highly-detailed mixed-media paintings executed on large sheets of wax-coated paper. Khedoori's works often fill the spectator's entire field of vision; a 'typical' Khedoori painting combines elements of drawing, painting, and art installation. Some of Khedoori's best-known paintings feature architectural renderings surrounded by a vast expanse of white or blank space. In recent years, Khedoori has incorporated natural imagery and landscape into her work.

Khedoori was born in Sydney and raised in Australia, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. She received her MFA from UCLA in 1994. She is the identical twin sister of artist Rachel Khedoori, and the sister-in-law of the late artist Jason Rhoades.

Toba Khedoori is represented by Regen Projects, Los Angeles and David Zwirner, New York.
