Minoo Yalsohrabi

b. 1992 Tabriz,  Iran

Minoo Yalsohrabi holds a Master's degree in Painting and a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from Tehran University of Art. Currently residing in Tabriz,  Iran,  Minoo's artistic journey unfolds as a captivating exploration of the configurations and relationships between food and objects within the context of meal preparation and the kitchen, obsessively yet playfully studying motion, cause and effect, bodies, human intervention and light. 

In her “Paintings for the Kitchen” and “Unnumbered Pages from a Lost Recipe Book” Minoo Yalsohrabi explores the configurations and relationships between food and objects within the context of meal preparation and the kitchen, obsessively yet playfully studying motion, cause and effect, bodies, human intervention and light. 

Her drawings and paintings create among themselves a relationship that seems to play with the idea of agency and materiality, with “Unnumbered Pages from a Lost Recipe Book” working like a reference of the culinary arts and practices that “Paintings for the Kitchen” seem to try to adhere to. The drawings work like illustrated instruction manuals taken out of a book, and their technique and material emphasize this idea: the pages look torn from a larger collection of papers.
