Mizan

Naifeh’s Mizan series – the term means balance or harmony in Arabic – is based on a medieval design that appears in both Islamic and Jewish art of that period, creating works that embrace the common visual traditions of both religions. Naifeh renders the design using interlocking V-shaped canvases that also celebrate the shaped canvases of mid-century artists such as Frank Stella, notably his Notched-V series that he began in late 1964.
