In work after work in the exhibition, Entekhabi uses well Frost’s poem as foil in weaving his narratives as well as aesthetic into his art. This is evinced in the way that the artist employs both negative space and mark making as an essential dialectic. The ostensible minimalism of Frost’s 8 lines where each word and cadence, and where presence and absence is quintessential, is attenuated in Entekhabi’s spacious compositions. Indeed, symbiosis is germane to Entekhabi’s artistry that symbolically spills out and beyond the contours of a painting, a work on a paper, a photograph, or a video. In doing so, the artist reminds us of the interconnectedness of things where, in the words of Robert Frost, “nothing gold can stay.”
