A dynamic surface is built with thick impasto layers that are washed over with translucent glazes. Liquid pools in valleys and falls away over edges. Embedded circles shift in and out of monochromatic fields of colour, inundating the work with changing reflections. This painting starts to bloom as one walks around it.

Through this series Mansur mines the possibilities within abstraction, making a case for its plural nature by creating potent modes of interference in painting. Their mode of production mimics the creation of land: geographic layers are slowly built over time, eroded, excavated, drilled upon, and subsumed. Painted on large-format panels, these abstractions recall enveloping aerial landscapes.
