Art Historian's Take
Farida Zaman — "The Stare I". This work by Farida Zaman represents a compelling intersection of contemporary surrealism and minimalist abstraction, a style that draws upon the legacy of early 20th-century modernist movements while establishing a distinct, personal visual language. The composition is structured around a vertical arrangement of three stylized eyes, each rendered with a unique combination of color and line weight, creating a visual rhythm that guides the viewer's gaze from top to bottom. The use of negative space is masterful, with the stark white background not merely an absence of color but an active element that amplifies the intensity of the central subjects. Zaman's color palette, dominated by cool blues and punctuated by the stark black of the pupils and the vibrant green of the lowest eye, creates a sophisticated, harmonious contrast that is both visually arresting and psychologically resonant. The technique, characterized by bold, confident lines and flat areas of color, suggests a direct, unmediated expression of vision. The work can be situated within a broader tradition of symbolic and metaphysical art, where the eye has long served as a powerful motif for perception, knowledge, and the soul. Zaman's approach, however, is distinctly modern, stripping the iconography down to its essential form and imbuing it with a quiet, enigmatic power that invites prolonged contemplation. The piece is a testament to the enduring power of the eye as a subject and a symbol, rendered here with a clarity and precision that is both aesthetically refined and conceptually profound.

Great quality prints

I took a chance and ordered and I’m glad I did. The prints arrived quickly and were well packaged, no damage. The colors and quality of paper look better than expected. I’m very satisfied and would order again. Thank you for great customer service.

Love the artwork

The colors are great for our room. We needed something with the dark teal color. Love the artwork. The artwork however was almost ruined. The delivery person put it out on front stoop in the pouring rain. I would suggest that Decorus put the tube into sealed plastic before inserting into the shipping box.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it—and I’m glad to hear the artwork and colors worked well for your space.

I’m sorry to hear about the delivery experience, that’s always frustrating when carriers leave packages exposed like that.

Since your order and your feedback, we took a big look at how we were packaging prints and ran with your feedback. Since the end of last year we all prints are now rolled and placed inside a protective plastic sleeve before going into the tube, which is then placed in the box, which helps prevent issues like moisture exposure during transit.

We appreciate you calling that out, it’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps us improve.

Cheers,
Shane
