Kohvar - Artwork 621
A vertically arranged tripartite design separates the field into bands of different earth tones, each populated by simplified, schematic figures: winged creatures, arched chairs or beasts, and stylized floral emblems. The hand-drawn black marks are repeated and rhythmic, creating a pictographic language that feels like an invented folk script or a primitive frieze recalling medieval and vernacular motifs. The flatness of application, visible brush texture and the directness of the symbols confer an intimate, story-telling quality to the piece.
Housed in a pale wooden frame, the painting reads as a modern folk tapestry—both decorative and emblematic—where pattern and sign coalesce into a compact visual narrative.
