The first glance is only the beginning…

Kal Mansur’s wall works are dimensional objects made of plexiglass. An internal plexiglass object is encased within translucent plexiglass. Embedded fluorescent pigments project color through the edges. Surrounding areas are painted, yielding an artwork that is a hybrid of painting and sculpture. The artwork magnifies light, allowing the viewer to visually travel through the composition. According to Mansur, “The ability to conduct how light interacts with surfaces is my ongoing attempt to create a visual braille – a language by which color, light, and composition can be felt and not merely observed.” Click here to view Kal’s process.
