Kal Mansur is a Canadian abstract artist who makes a compelling case for the plural nature of abstraction. His work explores distance—between viewer and object, memory and place, presence and meaning. Though grounded in minimalist traditions, his use of colour evokes atmospheres remembered more than named: South Asia’s saturated light, Texan deserts, New York’s shifting shadows. Mansur has exhibited in Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, and internationally, including Expo Dubai 2020. His work is in collections such as TD Bank and Global Affairs Canada, with commissions for Tiffany & Co., Le Méridien, and Fairmont Hotels. Mansur lives in Toronto.
