Babak Ghazi

Babak Ghazi earned his MA from Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, where he lives. He draws on cultural icons of the 1980s – music, fashion, and advertising – to examine the production of meaning in consumer society. Informed by Pop art’s simultaneous affirmation and critique of such material, in one case he makes direct reference to Andy Warhol’s painting series Shadows with Model (2008), Ghazi’s repeated image of a posing fashion model.
