Love Bomb (Persian Cat) Edition 9/30

Artspace and Artadia are pleased to present Love Bomb (Persian Cat), a vibrant new edition by Hadi Falapishi, created in an intimate run of 30 unique hand-embellished prints.

A 2019 Artadia Awardee, Falapishi has become known for his bold color choices and straightforward, character-driven compositions. Love Bomb (Persian Cat) brings together the key elements of his practice - bright color, bold lines, and mixed media - in a rare edition.

Across his practice, Falapishi employs recurring motifs, including cats, people, and other creatures, to construct layered narratives. In Love Bomb (Persian Cat), a large, cartoon-like Persian cat dominates the frame as a tiny house sits unassumingly in the distance. Falapishi sets these playfully scaled subjects against a flat background, creating a sense of ambiguity and wonder.

Falapishi’s work has been steadily gaining institutional and critical attention in recent years, with notable profiles in Artforum, Vogue, and The Brooklyn Rail. His work was the subject of a comprehensive solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 2023, and is currently included in Diary of Flowers: Artists and their Worlds, on view through January 4, 2026 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA
