About the Item
Taher Asad-Bakhtiari (b. 1982) is a self-taught artist and designer whose practice revolves around objects, textiles and experiences. Truly a citizen of the world, Asad-Bakhtiari spent his childhood and student years in Canada and Switzerland, and currently divides his time between New York City and Dubai. Created using a variety of methods and materials, Asad-Bakhtiari’s works collectively reference and explore his Persian heritage. Deftly utilizing both centuries-old craft techniques and modern fabrication capabilities, Asad-Bakhtiari’s creations are imbued with the spirit of ancient traditions while retaining a hyper-contemporary relevance.
Regarding his "Tribal Weaves," Asad-Bakhtiari states, "My tenuous yet deep-rooted connection with the Bakhtiari tribe motivates me to support this dying craft, and I draw inspiration from their unique artistic legacy... Kilims were true raw expressions of a tribe's outlook on beauty. With the demise of tribal life, that type of art has died. What has not is the technique, and I believe the survival of this craft goes through reinvention." For his kilim and the gabbeh pieces, Asad-Bakhtiari takes the fundamentals of the historical technique, stripping them down to reveal the lace-like texture of the underlying warp, as well as enhancing the traditional geometric shapes, emphasizing the design but also the uniqueness of the medium.

- 'Jewels Of Life, ' Cotton fabric, linen, wool, contemporary, abstract textile artBy Meike LeglerLocated in Los Angeles, USMeike Legler 'Jewels Of Life,' 2021 Cotton fabrics, linen, wool and bleach over stretched canvas 48 x 36 inches Meike Legler’s works are a bold post-feminist reframing of sewn objects, recontextualized far beyond “women’s work.” In 1918 Le Corbusier said, “There is a hierarchy in the arts: decorative art at the bottom and human form at the top. Because we are men”¹ Legler craftily subverts this notion by stitching together ideas and methodologies and powerfully placing herself within the spectrum of contemporary abstract painting. Originally trained as a clothing designer at Berlin’s Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft and Central St. Martins in London, Meike Legler uses fabrics and nimble sewing machine skills to create abstract paintings, stretched like canvas over wooden stretcher bars. When she moved to Los Angeles in 2016 her paintings became more complex, with wilder ideas and influences, and she started integrating materials like automotive tarps and faux fur into her elaborate constructions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - BIOGRAPHY - Meike Legler has exhibited at galleries and institutions in the Los Angeles area and internationally, including Art Movement LA, Los Angeles; Stella Ripley Contemporary, Québec, Canada; E.P. & L.P., West Hollywood; Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA; Nous Tous, Los Angeles; and Art House LA, Pacific Palisades.
