Juan Kasari: American Prayer

The artworks are large abstract colour surfaces that avoid both the figurative idiom and narrativity. They are also in a constant state of change.

The artworks are large abstract colour surfaces that avoid both the figurative idiom and narrativity. They are in a constant state of change. The artificial and natural light, the layers of superimposed video projections and the viewer’s presence all play upon the gallery space and the works, giving rise to new changeable meanings. Kasari’s works are based on Mondrian’s idea of pure beauty that is devoid of figurative or narrative content. The projections employ primary colours and their combinations.
