HK Zamani is best known to LA art lovers as Habib Kheradyar, the peripatetic multimedia artist, one-time owner of Post Gallery, and relentlessly curious individual whose videos, paintings, performances and sculptural installations dissect issues of creativity and consumerism. As political restraints on communication and self-expression set up barriers between us, Zamani remains adamant in his search for iconography and symbolic forms that can draw people together. In his LA exhibition, Zamani returns to figurative paintings with a series of thickly rendered, chrome-lathered canvases that depict variations on Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome. Each work explores the structure's symbolic implications, as both shelter and common ground, in an age of turbulence and division.
