KAL MANSUR
Artist Statement
Kal Mansur is a visual artist specializing in acrylic/plexiglas construction. His work emulates geometric forms in architecture. Using a highly polished level of skill, he pursues the minimalist objective of erasing the trace of the artist’s hand. His innovative use of materials imbues the work with a unique luminosity. In daylight, the seamless fusion of opaque and translucent elements in each work activates a vivid study of light and form. Here the way in which light reflects around buildings is materialized. With heightened light conditions, the work is transformed into a radiant object that appears to glow without a discernible power source.
Mansur roots himself in the tradition of minimalist sculpture set by the likes of Donald Judd and Anish Kapoor. He is influenced by the sublime evocations of color exemplified by Mark Rothko. His work consists of compelling juxtapositions of blurred, lyrical color fields with aerodynamic forms and precise lines.
