Nasrollah Afjehei (Iranian, b. 1933), A Calligraphic Abstraction.
A dynamic modern calligraphic composition by Nasrollah Afjehei, executed in sweeping bands of stylised script across a white ground. The composition flows diagonally, with layered ribbons of black, deep blue, turquoise, and green calligraphy radiating outward in rhythmic movement.
At the upper left, a bold, fluid black contour form anchors the design, accented with red teardrop-shaped details, creating a visual counterbalance to the cascading text. The script is rendered in a highly abstracted style, merging traditional Persian calligraphic forms with contemporary graphic sensibility. Signed in red at the lower left
Approximately 45.5 x 35.5cm
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished British gentleman.
