Simultaneously present and absent, Kami’s hazy figures occupy a transcendent realm akin to memory
At the heart of the work of Iranian American artist Y.Z. Kami (born 1956) are his enigmatic portraits. These large-scale paintings depict close-up figures placed against neutral, ambiguous backgrounds. Their ethereal quality evokes profound feelings and draws connections to historical portrait traditions.
