Untitled

Mehrdad Yazdani

1996

A tall panel of painted squares in which the architect uses acrylic on plywood to stage dozens of small, folded, faceted forms—like painted model studies—testing variations of plane, light, and movement.

You encounter a vertical mosaic of deep indigo tiles set off by warm wood seams, each tile holding origami-like, translucent angular planes that seem to float or rotate against a richly textured, almost fabric-like blue ground.

By turning iterative design sketches into a serial painting, the work blurs architecture and abstraction, making visible how small shifts in geometry and shadow generate new spatial possibilities.
