An Abstract Sense of Life
In his new body of artwork, I see Afshin Naghouni is unusually jewel-like with his choice palette of cherry-picked colours. Vivid multihued veils of paint offer ever-more interesting Abstract(ed) zones, that lie in between broadly sanguine, elaborately raffish and viscerally gutsy brushstrokes. Understanding engagement of the physical frame supports emotional empathy whilst embracing intellectual identity; feeling the Conceptual tease of painted flesh from the mortal body to Abstract art, as selfportraiture, too.
