Portraits of Now
The Ferry Building Gallery is proud to announce its first exhibition of 2025, Portraits of Now, featuring contemporary portraits by three women artists.
Moojan Azar has conceived a peaceful tribe of celestial humanoids, known as the Hunohoids, brought to life through digital media and AI. Some Hunohoids are connected to the moon, others to the sun, and all possess extraordinary powers such as plant manipulation, animal bonding, elemental harmony, and telepathy.
Meghan Sharir paints contemporary women in a traditional classical style. Her models are posed in ways to reflect the evolving concept of femininity over time. Many of her portraits are a direct reference to historical painting styles, offering an intentional nod to the past while situating her work in a modern context.
Lan Yao鈥檚 psychedelic pencil drawings capture fluidity and transformation with intricate detail. These portraits delve into the multifaceted and mutable identities of her sitters. This new body of work is a departure from Yao鈥檚 previous fantastical worlds, yet it retains the same meticulous draftsmanship and layered visual complexity.
