About the art
01In Untitled (13), the surface is built through thousands of fine, repetitive lines that move from dense black into soft grays before dissolving into the white of the canvas. Language is stripped of readability and transformed into pure gesture, creating a visual rhythm that is felt rather than read. The composition unfolds gradually, evoking a meditative journey where movement, stillness, and time are embedded within the act of mark-making. Working exclusively in black and white, the artist allows the lines themselves to carry meaning, turning writing into a quiet, contemplative field. Golnaz Fathi is an Iranian artist whose practice is rooted in Persian calligraphy and abstract mark-making. Trained in classical calligraphy, she developed a distinctive visual language that moves beyond legible text toward abstraction. Her work has been exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions, and is held in major museum and institutional collections worldwide.
