MOJGAN EDALAT McCLUSKY<\/b><\/p>\n

I believe that the viewer plays an important role in art.\u00a0 When I paint, I want those who see my art to be engaged and to bring their own interpretation to my paintings.\u00a0 I paint from the heart; therefore, each work contains a little piece of me.\u00a0 It is my goal to touch those who view my work in the simplest way \u2013 a smile to one\u2019s face, a happy thought to one\u2019s mind or a wow to one\u2019s lips.\u00a0 If a viewer of my work feels something, I know I have done my job. \u2013 Mojgan<\/p>\n

ABOUT<\/b><\/p>\n

Born in the pastoral city of Tehran, Iran, the daughter of an artist and an educator, Mojgan moved to New York in her late teens.\u00a0 Exposure to Manhattan and the world\u2019s grandest city further ignited her passion for art from a dream to a reality, which continues today at her art studio in Long Beach, California. Mojgan\u2019s style is one that is open to interpretation. You can look at her work as contemporary yet established \u2013 modern yet traditional.\u00a0 However, in all of her works, she strives to maintain a precision to detail without sacrificing balance or overall composition.\u00a0 Lately, Mojgan has been focusing on what she refers to as her lost childhood.\u00a0 The Iranian-born minimal-contemporary artist is currently focusing on this theme in her current series of paintings.<\/p>\n

Art history is rife with artists creating homage to their childhood and upbringing.\u00a0 In fact, the minimalist approach that Mojgan typically takes to her work fits appropriately to express her feelings toward the environment that she was born and raised.\u00a0 As a youth, Mojgan was required to deal with a violent revolution that began in the late 1970s.\u00a0 With the lack of a stable and comforting home life, and chaos on the streets, Mojgan had no place to thrive.\u00a0 As such, her work represents the ways that many young people with unstable or violent environments miss out on their childhood.<\/p>\n

Mojgan\u2019s works have been enthusiastically received and collected by numerous private parties that include business owners, corporate executives, professional athletes, television personalities and everyday art enthusiasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
