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?
A repeated arch becomes a unit of measurement: regular enough to establish order, yet varied enough to make each passage feel conditional rather than fixed.
- Nasr describes the arch as the moment before a decision. That stated intention clarifies why he repeats one form rather than depicting a specific doorway or place.
- In the supplied photograph, rows of rounded vertical forms occupy contrasting rectangular fields. Shifts in width, alignment and colour interrupt the grid, so comparison becomes the painting’s main visual activity.
- The catalogued oil pigment stick on canvas allows broad, opaque colour areas while retaining slightly irregular edges. Here, that combination keeps the modular structure from appearing mechanically produced.
- Dated 2026 and measuring 90 by 120 cm, No.44 is a focused example of serial abstraction in which repetition carries conceptual weight. It supports comparison between rule-based composition and handmade variation.
