love @talkart πππ¨β€οΈπππ New @talkart!!! Russell & Robert meet leading artist #MathBass @MathPearlBass from their studio in Los Angeles, California. Bass is an artist known for fusing performance with paintings and sculptures using formal elements like solid colors, geometric imagery, raw materials, and visual symbols. Bass has exhibited internationally and is represented by #TanyaLeyton, Berlin, #VariousSmallFires, Seoul and #Vielmetter, Los Angeles. Math Bass (b. 1981, New York, NY, lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans across painting, performance, sculpture, and video. Throughout the work of Math Bass, recognizable forms appear and yet turn abstract, becoming shapes rather than signifiers, like shadows manipulated by the sun. Repetition is used as a tool to foreground these forms as part of a visual lexicon Bass has been developing over the last several years in the Newz! series β where forms and symbols exist in a multitude of perspectives and (re)interpretation β suggesting the possibility of mutable meaning. Though graphic in the flatness of the forms, there is a crispness and lightness to Bassβs geometric abstractionβthin layers of opaque paint are delicately applied to the raw canvas. In their artistic practice, the artist explores breaking down the common boundaries found within the medium(s) and modes of presentation in order to actively engage the viewer in both surreal and everyday ways.
