Mehdi Ghadyanloo's exhibition of new paintings and works on paper closes this Saturday, November 5, at Gagosian, Hong Kong. The paintings are composed with meticulous attention to geometry, color, and chiaroscuro. The pieces of playground equipment exist as symbols, monuments to psychological states, as much as they are imagined physical constructions. Absent of children or other figures, they have an enigmatic, monumental presence that prompts nostalgia for the innocence of childhood play while hinting at existential themes.
