Mohamad Khezri Moghadam (1984) is an Iranian artist and curator based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He completed his BA in graphic design at Mashad University, his MA in graphic design at Modares University and a PhD in the Philosophy of Art from Shahroud University (all in Iran). He is the founder and director of the Maa Art Residency based in Kerman, Iran and is a curator affiliated with the Kerman Contemporary Art Museum.
He is a member of the Amsterdam-based artist collective DARKMATTER. His artistic interests are very diverse but generally focus on various aspects of cultural life and sociology, especially gender, race and ethnicity, sexuality, law, nationalism, religion and history.
As an Iranian Rotterdam based artist with a passion for capturing the aesthetic and cultural complexities of life in contemporary Iran, Moghadam’s work has been shown in four solo and more than twenty group exhibitions. His style and approach to photography style is eclectic, ranging from striking portraits and landscapes to abstract compositions that challenge viewers to see the world in a new way.
