Art Basel Miami Beach    Dec 6 - Dec 9, 2012

Please join us in our booth C 27 where we will present new works by Omid Delafrouz and Brad Kahlhamer, putting a specific and concentrated focus on how these two relate to issues of popular culture, identity and geographical and psychological displacement from very different personal vantage points.

Brad Kahlhamer, born 1956 in Tucson Arizona, lives and works in New York. Kahlhamer is of Native American ancestry and his work reflects his heritage but is also informed by his interest in contemporary culture - rock music, comics, urban street culture as well as the mythology of the American West. Over the course of the past two decades, Kahlhamer has immersed himself in an artistic practice spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, sculptural installations and performance art. His work is currently on view at the The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and will in March 2013 be exhibited at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

Omid Delafrouz, born 1982 in Tehran, lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden. Delafrouz builds his images through a meticulous process. They are charged with references tied to our age and more particularly to the young generation that grew up during the last twenty years of 20th century, in a popular culture obsessed with images, surface and consumption. Every element in his detailed images relates to other parts of the work and jointly create layers of meanings and narratives.
