Tala Madani

Artist Tala Madani joins David Humphrey in a candid conversation about the raw, messy, and often humorous forces that shape her painting practice. They explore how vulnerability, material intelligence, and comic timing inform their grotesque yet deeply human imagery—turning shit, shadows, and sperm into sites of revelation. Together, they reflect on the politics of mess, the power of not knowing, and the urgent need to hold space for disorder in both art and society.Watch the extended Interview on Vimeo.Image: Spectre II, 2016.
