Aydan Hüseynli

Aydan Hüseynli is an Azeri artist from Vancouver, Canada, based in New York. She holds a BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, where she also concentrated in Theory and History of Art and Design. Using the logic of familiar, domestic objects, Aydan’s work finds resonance between symbolic origins and contemporary simulacra. In collapsing the distinction between the two, she opens a third realm for viewing the mediation of reality, memory, and heritage within the contemporary Western landscape. Slipping between dream logic and the pull of nostalgia, influenced by Soviet and American cinema, her work emerges in a kind of twenty-first-century magical realism.
