In her distinctive drawings and paintings, Toba Khedoori (b. 1964, Sydney, Australia; lives in Los Angeles, CA) meticulously renders everyday objects such as windows, doors, and trees on waxed paper or canvas. Shorn from their contexts and often suspended in generous negative space, these familiar forms—in this case, blades of grass—appear renewed by the artist’s deep attention to detail and unwavering hand. Khedoori’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at numerous institutions, including Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Her work is held in numerous prominent public collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Schaulager, Basel, Switzerland; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In 2002, Khedoori received a MacArthur Foundation Grant.
