Obscured by Colors opens to the public Thursday, April 11th, 2024, 7-9 pm at ADVOCARTSY’s West Hollywood gallery, Located at 434 North La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048 ADVOCARTSY is proud to present Obscured by Colors, a solo exhibition by Shadi Yousefian, with a public opening on Thursday, April 11th from 7-9pm at ADVOCARTSY’s West Hollywood gallery located at 434 North La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048. This is Yousefian’s third solo exhibition with ADVOCARTSY. In Obscured By Colors, Yousefian carefully constructs a tableau of fragmented nostalgia using manipulated photographs from past generations. In this series, Yousefian collaborated with Lucas Rise, an Argentinian artist, whose artistic style differs drastically from that of Yousefian’s, with his use of bright colors and decorative patterns. The viewer never sees the full picture, as Yousefian intends to highlight what is gained through being lost, offering only glimpses into experiences once had, and how distorted they become in the present.
