Mehdi Oveisi

Mehdi Oveisi's paintings are, as he conceives them, visualizations of philosophical and spiritual questions. Working within a range of media, Oveisi's works come off as a graduated accretion of materials, which collectively come together to shape a heart, an embodied figure, or something more formalist and abstract. What's essential is that the overall impression of work is constructed from many layers. Almost in the manner of developmental stages, this layering process becomes a kind of commentary on a work's completed design. One can look at each gestural aspect of Oveisi's works, every determination of color and shadow, as a sort of signature that speaks to the integrity of the whole.
