Art keeps going at our artists' studios $$PLAIN_TEXT_PREVIEW$$

Kal Mansur is best known for his translucent acrylic sculptures that visually change as light strikes their internal elements. As natural light casts internal shadows it illuminates other segments, enabling the viewer to visually travel through the composition.

|
This piece was commissioned by the School of Design at George Brown College in Toronto in 2019. This 5’ diameter acrylic sculpture combines graphic elements with ethereal, translucent color fields. A collector describes Kal’s work as containing mini-events that bloom throughout the day.

Recently Mansur has been working on a new body of work using pigmented epoxy, called Terraces. He combines epoxy with custom pigments and uses geological forces like heat, time and viscosity to create a translucent, multi-colored slab. Using a carving machine, he excavates into the slab, creating topographical steppes that are only visible upon closer inspection. The gallery will be launching a new set of Terraces in the coming weeks. Send us an email to keep you updated. |

Kal Mansur completed his BFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990, studying under Peter Saul. His work is in various collections, including Tiffany and Company, George Brown College, Ryerson University, Senvest Corporation, Sloan-Kettering, and KPMG. Deriving inspiration from sources as diverse as Donald Judd, aeronautic engineering, and biology, Mansur’s pieces express a fusion of disparate perspectives into a cohesive, elemental projection. |

Robert Rustermier creates translucent and ethereal paintings in paraffin wax. His work explores the visual effect that semi-translucent material has on a simple field color. Identifying with neo-geometric abstraction, Rustermier uses fundamental shapes – circles and lines – and arranges them in multiple ways to create a sense of spatial depth. His work explores the use of these shapes and their formed relationships in ambiguous space.

Robert Rustermier has a BA in Fine Art from New College of the University of South Florida in Sarasota and an MFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design. Academic involvement includes a Fulbright to the Czech Republic, lecturing widely on contemporary American ceramics abroad and contemporary Czech ceramics across the U.S. East Coast. The gallery first introduced Rustermier’s work at PULSE art fair in Miami last December.
