In Focus
Robert Mangold

—

Zeedijk 758, Knokke

De Brock is pleased to announce its first edition of “In Focus”, a new series of small exhibitions presenting three works by one artist in our front space.

Since the 1960s, Robert Mangold (b. 1937) has developed a visual language based on the laws of geometry and asymmetry in shape and form. His use of subtle color and curvilinear abstract forms are associated with Minimalism but also recall other sources from Ancient Greek pottery to Renaissance frescoes.

Mangold seeks an equilibrium between the recurring elements in his work: simple geometric forms colored with hand-made tints within which balletic lines are drawn. The works are deceptively simple and ‘minimalist’, demonstrating a seemingly infinite variety of invention and nuance within self-imposed geometric constraints.

The presentation includes works on paper from three distinct series, notably Plane / Figure (1993), Zone (1996) and Column / Figure (2003).

We're looking forward to welcome you, please email us for more information.
