Untitled
This refined geometric work by Cairo based Egyptian Armenian artist Chant Avedissian presents three repeating right triangles rendered in terracotta orange against a warm natural ground, encapsulating his signature interest in pattern, rhythm, and the visual language of Islamic and folk decorative traditions. The restrained composition on what appears to be aged paper or board gives the work an archival intimacy that rewards close looking, making it an ideal entry point into Avedissian's practice for collectors seeking understated yet intellectually rich abstraction. Housed in a clean natural wood float frame with generous white matting, the piece presents beautifully as both a standalone work and as part of a broader collection of geometric or Middle Eastern modernist art.

Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian
Iranian · b. 1924
Farmanfarmaian dedicated her practice to geometric abstraction rooted in Islamic decorative traditions, using repeating triangular and polygonal forms with warm reflective tones that share the same rhythmic patterning and cultural heritage language present in this specific Avedissian piece.
Mahmoud Hamadani
Iranian-American · b. 1966
Hamadani works on aged and archival paper surfaces with systematic geometric compositions drawn from Islamic visual traditions, producing small scale works with warm terracotta and earth toned palettes that closely mirror the intimate archival quality and restrained repetition seen in this Avedissian work.
Ahmed Moustafa
Egyptian · b. 1943
Moustafa builds rigorous abstract compositions from the geometric logic of Islamic pattern systems, emphasizing rhythmic repetition and formal spatial harmony on paper, qualities that align directly with Avedissian's triangular motif and his grounding in Middle Eastern decorative and folk art vocabularies.
