RACHEL LEE HOVNANIAN
Rachel Lee Hovnanian’s multidisciplinary practice explores the complexities of modern feminism through the lens of our cultural obsession with beauty and narcissism, eliciting conversations around contemporary ideals regarding physical perfection and the compounding psychological effects of new media and technology.

In 2022, Hovnanian was invited to produce a solo exhibition for the Venice Biennale, for which the artist presented Angel’s Listening. Hovnanian’s interactive performance-installation created space for hundreds of silenced voices to join together in a chorus of confessions, demonstrating the liberation associated with catharsis and the sanctity of meditative environments in moments of shared isolation.

Hovnanian’s work has been exhibited at private and public institutions across the globe, including solo presentations in the United States, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. She received her BFA from the University of Texas, Austin, and completed postgraduate studies at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Born in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and raised in Houston, Texas, Hovnanian currently lives between Miami and New York.
