September 2020

Knapped series

These artworks are pigmented and carved epoxy slabs. Their solidity is borne out of a process combining temperature, time, and viscosity. These physical forces result in translucent and topographical objects. With this new work Mansur continues his exploration of the forces that shape materiality and abstraction.
