About the Item

Nessim Bassan: The Unimaginable Worlds of Perfection showcases the artist’s engagement with kinetic art, as his preoccupation with geometric abstraction enacted through mixed media. Bassan’s approach is at once a personal exploration of form and a reflection on objective mathematical measurements. The artist tends to work with a color palette of variations of white, to which he might add flashes of color. Incorporating media such as paint, wood, linen, paper, and string into his art, Bassan interweaves textures in a way that produces a myriad of layers. Even with this complexity of detail and physical depth, these works do not convey disorganization but rather, precision and balance. They are optical illusions at once simple and complex, delicate and bold, elegant and unrestrained.
