Kal Mansur is best known for his luminous translucent sculptures made of painted plexiglass. This piece absorbs and reflects light, allowing the viewer to visually travel through the composition. Embedded fluorescent pigments project colour through the edges. The piece is part of his bestselling series of easy-to-place circular works that punctuate any home with contemporary elegance.
“After twenty years as a painter it occurred to me that light is a medium in and of itself. I began using coloured plexiglass and developed a process of cutting, gluing, sanding, and buffing to alter its levels of translucency and reflectiveness. The way the material imbues colour with volume was especially intriguing. The ability to conduct how light interacts with surfaces is my ongoing attempt to create a visual braille, that is, a language by which colour, light, and composition can be felt and not merely observed.”
