Kal Mansur
Rust Blue Escape One

2023

About the Item

Kal Mansur employs a palette knife to build a textured terrain from impasto layers of paint. The surface is washed over with translucent glazes, with liquid pooling in valleys and falling away over edges. This process builds and subdues color, resulting in a monochromatic mass. Embedded circular resin sculptures inundate the work with changing reflections. What emerges is a painting that starts to bloom as one walks around it. What were once muted circles begin to gleam – they are beacons that turn off and on. Their surfaces are paradoxical: waxy yet reflective, the circles both mirror and obscure the viewer. The work emulates the formation of land, with geographic layers gradually built over time, excavated, drilled upon, then subsumed.
