Morteza Khakshoor at the International Print Center New York

Male behaviors and rituals occupy Ohio-based printmaker and current International Print Center New York resident artist Morteza Khakshoor’s colorful, dream-like prints.  This piece, ‘Men of High Culture’ is a standout in the IPCNY’s current juried exhibition of new prints.  Including a homogeneously dressed cast of male wall flowers and two figures grappling with eccentric creatures and separated by a vase of flowers, Khakshoor’s setup reinterprets the uber-male cockfight.  (On view through Sept 22nd).
