Ladan Sedighi appropriates materials from automobile culture and commercial display signage to create works that reference hard-edge painting and Minimalist practice. Employing contemporary western technologies, such as holographic films, vinyl wraps, and acrylic sheets, she expresses a sense of pleasure and excitement drawn directly from her Persian heritage.  She transforms the sensuality and luxurious colors of Middle Eastern architecture, Persian rugs, and precious jewels into transforming compositions that react to changes in space and light. She strips away the history and brings the viewer in to experience the ecstasy of the moment.  

Ladan Sedighi (born 1977 in Dallas, Texas) is an American-Iranian artist noted for her work in the areas of op art, geometric abstraction and perceptual phenomena.  She received her Bachelor of the Arts in Graphic Design at the prestigious Tehran Fine Arts University in Tehran, Iran and her Masters degree in Fine Arts at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. In 2019 she was introduced at Royale Projects in the exhibition “If You Steal My Sunshine: California Abstraction Now” which was followed up in 2022 with the two person exhibition “Double Take: Lynn Aldrich x Ladan Sedighi”
