Yasmin - Shaghayegh- Noorbakhsh is a Persian-British London based artist working across painting, ceramics and installation. Her practice examines notions of veracity. She has a particular interest in selective perception and how our understanding of events can be affected by media bias, personal and cultural projection, assumption and censorship. Her work is inspired by socio-cultural beliefs and historical events. It sometimes depicts the erasure of events and objects and how they can lose their complexity and origin when looked at through certain constructs or agendas. 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 strongly infused with the theme of hybrid identity and its associated uncertainty. There is a constant questioning at the core of her practice. She explores the relationship between order 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.
