X-tu Architects: Nanterre Apartment Block, France - ” A new design by Nicolas de Mazieres and Anouk Legendre use the principals of volumetric forms to create a veritable, consolidates architectural language. The built form takes on a graphic sensibility as it breaks down the space of the skyline in ‘Nannterre Apartment Blocks.’ Urban terraces are deconstructed into a landscaped negative of large-scale tetris-like composition. In the context of the andre wogensky prefecture, an area characterized by 1960’s large scale modernist blocks that emphasize space, height and geometry, the nanterre apartments absorb the historically prefabricated and streamlined forms while cutting its volumes with vibrant color.”

Mohammad Ehsai (Iranian, b. 1939) Speak About Companion. signed in Farsi, signed and dated ‘MEhsaei 2011’ (lower left) oil on canvas. “I have culled reporting and narration from ‘the written word’ making the form of the letter the main element of my work; in this way, I have achieved individual compositions which are essentially visual structures based on the architecture of letters.” (Mohammad Ehsai, 2012). Applying calligraphy as the main element of his works, celebrated Iranian artist Mohammad Ehsai represents the continuation of an artistic movement which sought to leave its mark by combining traditional techniques into a modern artistic form. Utilising his knowledge of graphic arts to create pictures, Ehsai’s works, unlike traditional Persian calligraphy, can be divided into two categories: “calligraphy-paintings” and “eternal alphabet”, the present lot an example of the former. Speak About Companion engages in a visual language strongly influenced by structural calculations and the use of calligraphy in architecture, which has enjoyed a strong history in Islamic art. Here Ehsai offers a new interpretation of the traditional arts by transforming colouration, execution, and the use of material in a reconfigured sphere that has been made possible through modern graphics.

Life’s Work: An Interview With Philippe Starck
Q: What’s the secret to working so quickly and productively? A: “I am sort of a modern monk. My wife and I have a collection of cabins in the middle of nowhere, and we stay out of everything. We don’t go to dinners. We don’t go to cocktails. We don’t go to movies. We don’t watch TV. I don’t use my energy on other people. I just work and read. I live with myself in front of my white page. Of course, for much of the year I have to travel, speak to journalists, engineers, things like that, and it’s the worst. But from the 15th of June to the 15th of September, I live completely secluded, locked in one of my houses, working from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, or making my own biorhythm: work three hours, sleep 45 minutes, work three hours, sleep 45 minutes, for 24 hours, without eating. It’s a little sick. But I’m like Dr. Faust. I signed a contract with the devil to sell my life for creativity.”
