Conversations on Art: Artist Sara Issakharian on Her Recent Exhibition at Tanya Leighton Gallery

Writer Ricky Amadour speaks with Iranian-born, Los Angeles-based artist Sara Issakharian about her recent exhibition “There's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there” at Tanya Leighton Gallery in Los Angeles. Issakharian’s paintings enrapture her audience through candid gestures and delve into the many idiosyncrasies of clandestine Iranian politics through the use of mythology. Her works serve as postulates for a reawakened hope and confront cultural trepidation with frank conscientiousness.
