RACHEL LEE HOVNANIAN
Born in Parkersburg, West Virginia and raised in Houston, Texas, Rachel Lee Hovnanian is a New York-based artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores contemporary notions of narcissism, beauty obsession and intimacy, and society’s alienating addiction to modern technological advances and media. She merges photography, video, sculpture and installation art – often constructing surreal environments using a wide range of materials – to challenge viewers to examine and reevaluate their own cultural values and relationship with digital technology.
