Leyla Pooya Khan is a South Asian multimedia fine art Practitioner based in London whose works explore culture and Identity, hoping to prompt reflection on the relationship between global politics and the human journey. She is influenced by Contemporary Artists from South Asia, such as Imran Qureshi, Shazia Sikandar and Sasan Nasirnia, who incorporate text within their works. She is continuously inspired by the narratives and rich heritage of these regions. As an ongoing Practice, Leyla combines contemporary calligraphic letters, mark-making and conceptual imagery to push the bounds of visual dialogue with her audience. Her recent works explore the juxtaposition of text and the visceral effect of her visual dialogue on her audience. Her process entails experimentation with different materials and the incorporation of relief forms and shapes that might have the potential to provoke dialogue when intertwined with the calligraphic lettering within her works.
