Taraneh Mossadegh (b. 1985, Tehran) is an Iranian artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She earned her MFA in painting from the Leroy E. Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland, and her BFA in painting from the Art University of Tehran.

Mossadegh’s recent collections explore stillness and movement on canvas. Through patterns, gradations, and shades of light, she investigates how subtle shifts in light and pigmentation evoke emotional and spatial depth. Her practice is attuned to the interplay between texture, color, and light, considering binaries of the ephemeral and the permanent.

Part of Mossadegh’s practice involves collaborations with artists across various disciplines, including poets, visual artists, sound artists, and performers. These interdisciplinary engagements allow her to expand the boundaries of her work, creating a dynamic exchange between different modes of creative expression.

Her pieces are part of notable collections, including the Musée d’Arte Moderne de Paris and the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Mossadegh engages with contemporary dialogues on painting, studying the connections between sensory experience and conceptual inquiry.
