Kal Mansur (b. 1965) creates abstract works that explore colour, light, and perception. Working with translucent and reflective materials including plexiglass, resin, and acrylic, he builds layered compositions that shift with changing light and the movement of the viewer. Colours deepen and recede, surfaces appear to open and close, and works that initially seem precise and geometric reveal a more atmospheric quality over time. His work moves between painting and sculpture, with available light often functioning as an active part of the composition.
Mansur’s work has been exhibited in Toronto, New York, London, Los Angeles, Ottawa, and the Netherlands, and was featured at the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. He has completed commissions for Tiffany & Co., Le Méridien New York, Hines Tridel Aqualuna, Conrad Los Angeles, Sammarco Toronto, Bonjour Capital, and Fairmont Hotels. His work is held in corporate and institutional collections including Global Affairs Canada, TD Bank, George Brown College, Toronto Metropolitan University, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Alliance Capital, and Senvest Corporation. He lives and works in Toronto.
