Yasmin - Shaghayegh- Noorbakhsh is a Persian-British multidisciplinary artist living in London. Her practice examines the notion of veracity. She is particularly interested in how our understanding of events can be affected by media bias, personal and cultural projection, assumption and censorship. Her work is inspired by personal and collective social and cultural beliefs and events. It depicts erasure of events and objects and how they can lose their complexity and origin when looked at through certain construct or agenda. She borrows cultural and historical signifiers and fuses them with elements of contemporary practice to create a strong sense of friction and collision.
As a female artist and a member of the Iranian diaspora, Yasmin’s practice is infused with liminal space experiences and hybrid identity and its associated uncertainty. There is a constant questioning at the core of her practice. She explores the relationship between pattern and chaos and how they overlap and intersect. Her multifaceted layers, interweaving diverse motifs and complex surfaces, depict the state of constantly existing between two spaces; between the known and unknown; the pleasant, and unpleasant; the West and the East and how sometimes these intersect and become intertwined.
Yasmin graduated in 2022 from City & Guilds of London Art school with a distinction for her MA in Fine art and was the recipient of the outstanding critical engagement prize 2022. She has been shortlisted for different prizes such as Zabludowicz Collection Mother Art prize 2022, Brixton art prize 2022, and Barbican Art trust Open 2022. Yasmin has been selected finalist for different collective shows such as Human Perspective 2021 at Cambridge University, ReA Art Fair Milan 2023, Art on the post card 2023 and 2024, Fair Art Fair for The Auction Collective, . She was the co-curator and exhibiting artist for a group project/residency called ‘Corpus’ in collaboration with Hypha Studios in London July 2023. Yasmin is one of the selected artists in Atrsted 99 Future Blue Chip Artists 2023 edition.
