Andisheh Avini's current show at at Marianne Boesky Gallery exhibits handcrafted marquetry panels from Iran splattered with colorful silkscreen and paintings on thick Persian rugs. The lacquered wood inlay, typically used for interior decor, acts as a geometric readymade that conflates appropriation with the original source of inspiration. This image derives from a recent body of work that came about after Avini laid down one of his actual marquetry pieces on a Frank Stella rug he owns. The resulting pattern is redolent of Stella's Black Paintings from 1959.
