Minimalissimo

Pixels by Kal Mansur

art & illustration

Toronto based visual artist, Kal Mansur, specialises in solid acrylic sculpture. It is Mansur's minimalist styled Pixels collection that I am delighted to share with you today.

The Pixels bring to mind scaled-down architectural models. Empty spaces, walls and blocks are suggested, subtly visible through the semi-opaque acrylic. There is no point of entry, sealed completely on all six sides. The viewer gets just a hint of the interior as available light creates shadows, exposing voids.

Created in 2010 and 2011, each piece is made up of solid acrylic, beautifully hand carved, featuring straight painted lines. All measuring 16 x 16 x 3 inches, it is certainly the dark canvas sculptures that I find most striking, particularly that entitled, Secrets.
