  • Iranian-born American artist, Nicky Nodjoumi (b. 1941, Kermanshah, Iran), is celebrated for his large scale, figurative and politically-charged paintings and drawings, which consistently test the boundaries between creative and political expression. 

     

    For this limited edition, Nodjoumi has released a duotone lithographic print titled ‘Between Two’, 2022, in a limited edition of 50 + 5 Artist Proofs. Based on an original ink drawing, within this dynamic scene an indistinguishable group of men in modern day business suits are caught in a physical altercation, whilst behind them the ghostly impressions of Persian monarchs past mirror the sense of violent aggression. Feelings of frustration, conflict, and instability come to the fore, as we – the viewer – witness the age-old cycle of history repeating itself between two distant generations. The lithographic printing process expertly captures the expressive application of Nodjoumi’s brushstrokes and splatters of ink, and the dimensions of the print replicate the scale of the original drawing. 

  •  “Underlying all of Nodjoumi’s artworks are fundamental social concerns—the struggle for justice, a resistance to political repression, and an insistence on human dignity.”

    About the Artist

    Nicky Nodjoumi (b. 1941, Kermanshah, Iran) is a Brooklyn-based painter whose work engages the dynamics of power, displacement, and human behavior within broader social and political frameworks. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the Tehran University of Fine Arts before relocating to the United States in the late 1960s, where he completed his MFA at The City College of New York in 1974. After a brief return to Tehran to teach, he settled permanently in New York in the early 1980s.

     

    Nicky Nodjoumi's works have been acquired by prominent institutional collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the British Museum in London, LACMA in Los Angeles, the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, among others. In 2024, Nicky had a solo exhibition at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts titled The Personal is Political, in 2019 a solo exhibition at the Kansas City Art Institute, titled The Long Day and in 2014, a solo exhibition at the Cleveland Institute of Art titled The Accident. His shows have been reviewed by major publications, including The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Brooklyn Rail, and the Boston Review, among others.
