Kal Mansur builds a monochromatic painting, layering a range of hues to create depth and complexity. A translucent glaze washes over the surface, pooling in crevices and cascading over edges. This process allows Mansur to achieve a delicate equilibrium, where colours simultaneously emerge and retreat. Embedded within the painting are circular resin sculptures that inundate the work with changing reflections. Observers circling the work witness subtle changes: once-muted circles awaken, emitting a soft glow that hints at hidden depths. The work echoes the geological process of land formation, where layers of terrain evolve over time, undergoing excavation, alteration, and eventual transformation.
