Publication Date: 2025

Edited with text by Moritz Wesseler. Text by Mark Godfrey and Anna Lovatt.  Meticulously drawn objects against blank backgrounds form liminal spaces devoid of human presence or context  Following the artist’s internationally acclaimed first solo exhibition at Fridericianum in Germany in 2022, this title offers a focused look at Khedoori’s singular visual language, grounded in objecthood and natural forms, and articulated through extraordinary precision. Australian-born artist Toba Khedoori’s (born 1964) oeuvre incorporates both drawing and painting. She arranges large sheets of paper worked with wax to form monumental image carriers on which she produces precise drawings using graphite and oil paint, which captivate with their execution and fine detail.

Toba Khedoori

Through a meticulous, time-consuming process that blends painting and drawing, Toba Khedoori (b. 1964) creates intricate, contemplative compositions depicting façades, plants, grids, windows, and doorways, among other subjects, that appear arrested in time and space—as though existing in a liminal state. Primarily done on immense sheets of waxed paper, her work espouses a neutral language of objecthood and natural forms versus one of figurative or gestural expressivity and narrative forms.
