Abol Bahadori Solo Show Artist Talk

According to the artist, this series is inspired by the rediscovery of the perspective grid among Renaissance artists. However, while the invention of Cartesian coordinates in mathematics and geometry helped move medieval art towards realism, in this series, adding aspects of perspective to abstract gestures results in a somewhat surreal look-vision through a prism or a kaleidoscope of broken glass. Bahadori uses trapezoids and triangles generated by 3D grids as abstract planes to showcase his colors. He further enhances some of his compositions with realistic figures and illustrations and refers to them as “positive distractions.” They improve the composition by breaking the symmetry and changing the gaze or focal point. The human, animal, and insect illustrations are additional elements to display color.
