Color Blind, acrylic on canvas, 48 X 48 in, 1998. This painterly abstraction is a richly textured fractal surface, lush with color and reverberating with form. The sensual density is taken to an extreme, giving the fractal forms a new liveliness and poeticism. (© Nabil Nahas) Don't Get Me Wrong, acrylic on canvas, 36 X 24 in, 1998. In this work, the artist works through a fractal tension of order and disorder in conflict, generating the beauty and turbulence that underscores his work as a whole. (© Nabil Nahas)
