Kal Mansur: Open Studio at Industry City Brooklyn, NY
April 3-7, 2019

Diffused Constructions

This body of work combines the traditions of sculpture and painting. Mansur uses solid acrylic elements with painted fields and objects to elicit a response between mystery and recognition. The built and painted sculpture is then covered with a translucent panel that visually alters the internal elements. Aspects of the work glow as soon as the piece receives light, be it in the form of natural of artificial light.

Non-Specific Objects

First launched at Pulse Miami during Art Basel week in December 2018, the series combines gestural drawing with multiple machining processes. Shadows of invisible lines are cast on the wall, as the artwork's incline creates optical effects. The conceptual underpinnings are vast, as Mansur moves past diffusion as a compositional element, and explores how transparency can carry unexpected consequences.
