Each arch is the moment before a decision, the door you cannot see beyond, the crossing you make anyway. Something chosen, something given. The arch is not a subject. It's a condition. It repeats across every canvas in grids and waves, each one a different colour, each asking the same question. I don't paint places or people or moments. I paint the space just before a decision, the point where one thing opens into another.
Why collect this work?
No.37 makes difference legible through constraint: a single rounded form repeats across the square grid, while shifting hues, proportions and alignments keep the structure from settling into uniformity.
- Nasr describes the arch as the instant before a decision. In this painting, recurrence extends that intended threshold across many adjacent possibilities rather than presenting one decisive crossing.
- The photograph shows stacked compartments containing rounded openings. Their uneven contours, varied widths and occasional thin dark marks disrupt the grid’s apparent regularity.
- The catalogue identifies oil pigment stick on canvas. The medium can accommodate both broad areas and linear marks, capacities reflected photographically in the blocked fields and scattered drawn details, though surface texture cannot be confirmed.
- Encountered as one complete field, No.37 provides a focused study of how serial structure can preserve individual variation without dissolving into unrelated parts.
