Details

In this display, 16 students from the University of Colorado Boulder showcase their work over the summer of 2024. The work contains paintings and artifacts replicating decorative and structural elements of the Boulder’s Dushanbe Teahouse. Students incorporated the premises of Nakkoshi’s Tajik ornamentation to develop patterns and color coordinates for their elements.

Nakkoshi patterns include linear repetitive floral elements, axial, radial, and octagon-stemmed patterns. The work also showcases choices and combinations of color coordinates based on a complex color wheel.
