y.z. kami (1956 –)
Explore y.z. kami's evocative portraits—large-scale oil paintings capturing visceral encounters & philosophical themes. NYC-based Iranian-American artist.
Since the 1980s, Y. Z. Kami (b. 1956) has focused on the human face. His expressionless portraits, in which the sitters often gaze directly at the viewer, have been compared to funerary portraits of the third to first century B.C. from El-Fayyum, Egypt. Because Kami’s subjects—simply called Faces—are numbered but not identified, the works evoke anonymous individuals rather than particular people.
