PERSONAL INFORMATION
NAME: Hojat
SURNAME: Amani
Date of birth 30/07/1978
SEX: Male

Hailing from Luristan, Iran, Hojat Amani (b.1978) is best known for his fantastical photo montages that juxtapose images of people, angle wings, and more traditional Iranian motifs and designs.

Drawing inspiration from history, the universality of angels as a symbol and religious pilgrimages, Amani’s aesthetically futuristic interpretation of angels are wrought with vivacious personality, yet also leave room for subtle contemplation and self-reflection on morality and the universal language that symbols, even when embodied by humans, have.

A rising star in the contemporary art scene, a work of Amani’s recently sold at the Spring Bonham’s Contemporary Photography sale in Dubai. Having trained at the University of Art in Esfahan for his BA and the University of Art in Tehran for his MA,Repris is the exhibition that he curated with Ignas kazakevicius from lithuanian artist.
