Calligraphic Drawing 1 and 2, Untitled – (Faramarz Pilaram) ◄ Tidigare Nästa ►

Artist: Faramarz Pilaram

datum: 1979

Teknik: Acrylic On Paper

These two works on paper demonstrate Pilaram’s experimentation with calligraphy starting in the Saqqakhana years and continuing through the Revolution. The dominant gold inscriptions in shikasta script were painted, while the smaller red naskhi were stamped. While only some of the text is decipherable, the overlap, repetition, and rotation of letters allow one to appreciate the pieces as purely visual compositions as well.
