Born 1984, Dagestan, Russia. Lives and works in New York, USA.
The drawing and painting practice of Ebecho Muslimova manifests a graphic trajectory of the personal and exposed, the comedic and the disquieting. Centered around the artist’s alter ego, Fatebe, a bold and sexually liberated character. The works depict a persona shameless and free, exploring the world in ridiculous and impossible situations that revel in the celebration of carnal processes and bodily curiosity.
Ebecho is currently showing a major solo show Fatebe Shadows at Kunsthall Stavanger, Norway. Her recent solo shows include Whispers at Bernheim, Zürich (2024); Rumors at Mendes Wood DM, São Paolo (2024); FOG at Magenta Plains, New York (2023), Fatebe digest at David Zwirner, London (2021); Scenes in the Sublevel at The Drawing Center, New York (2021); and FATEBE: Ebecho Muslimova at Bernheim, Zürich (2020). Her work has also been included in major group exhibitions, including Capítulo V: Heat at LagoAlgo, Mexico City (2024); Unruly Bodies at Goldsmiths CCA, London (2023); Fun Feminism at Kunstmuseum Basel (2022); and Unrealism at Deitch Projects, Los Angeles (2021).
Her works have been included as permanent collections in, among others: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Hirshhorn Museum, Washington D.C. and ICA Miami.
