Elnaz Salehi

Biography

cultural narratives elnaz salehi portrait

Elnaz Salehi, born in 1987 in Iran, holds a BA in Sculpture from Tehran Fine Art University. Since graduating, she has run a collective studio with other artists in the suburbs of Tehran. Salehi has participated in group exhibitions at Aran Gallery (2013) and Lajevardi Gallery (2015) in Tehran, as well as the Edinburgh Iranian Festival (2014), Tehran Third Urban Sculpture Biennial (2012), and Tehran Urban Visual Art Festival (2009).

Salehi’s work explores sculpture as an operational product, often used in absurd or meaningless ways. She enjoys transforming objects through her imagination, creating devices that are not constant. Her art is an ongoing investigation of materials and forms in both 2D and 3D, using 3D software to render her ideas and explore the circumstances of representation.
