Medium: Solid acrylic slab, incised drawing, pigmented epoxy
Size: 17 x 16 x 3 inches
Year: 2018
For this body of work, Mansur combines gestural drawing with multiple machining processes. Instead of a pencil, he makes preparatory sketches with thin tape, building strokes that remain preserved without the trace of an erased line. The composition is carved into a solid acrylic slab, and pigmented epoxy is added to the incisions to create layers of color, built up millimeters at a time. Mansur exposes deeper layers by excavating into the slab, creating intricate steppes that are only visible upon closer inspection. Shadows of invisible lines are cast on the wall, as the artwork's incline creates optical effects. Mansur’s work explores the unexpected consequences of transparency. His use of lines challenges the notion of borders as immovable, prompting us to reconsider their role in demarcating the living world. The series was first exhibited at Pulse Art Fair in Miami in 2018, and was included in multiple art tours led by Christie’s. The work earned Mansur a nomination for the Pulse Prize.
