Mash Gallery commemorates their one year anniversary with a celebration of light inspired art by six contemporary artists presenting a unified blend of
Geometric Abstraction, Conceptual Realism, and
Light and Space art.
LUMEN presents the viewer with a multi-sensory showcase that is both ethereal and atmospheric, yet geometric and analytic. Work ranges from the two-dimensional, painted canvases, to three-dimensional works composed of alternative materials, plastics, glass, and metal.
“The Neon Queen,” Lisa Schulte, presents a site-specific installation, “Color Fields,” a three-dimensional greenhouse with abstract neon flowers, tools, and icons. Lisa shares, “When one enters the greenhouse, my intention is to convey a feeling of peace and serenity and enchantment.”
Serbian light artist, Marko Gavrilovic, presents an intricate series of suspended plexiglass sculptures in an ongoing series titled, “Sharks.” Illuminated multi-colored shapes intertwine with light, conversely meshing
Geometric Abstraction with Light Art.
Marko shares, “I explore the possibilities in which nature and built environments will coexist…” The theme of color as illusion continues with Angela Johal’s geometric pattern paintings, “I paint with striped diagonal or circular bands of color which forces illusionistic spaces…”
Additionally, Saskatchewan artist Laura Payne presents her “Interpolation” series made of shaped wood panels seemingly appearing three dimensional while the surface reflects, refracts and disperses light. Los Angeles artist, Aaron Axelrod melds as many mediums as possible in his work, “Painting, sculpture, photography, video art, projection mapping, experimental crystal art, mixed media neon light art…”
