About the Item
Artist Len Klikunas paints to modify experienced reality through visual perception. Klikunas focuses on the larger idea behind his original abstract minimalist artworks. The work is characterized by “mindful artlessness” and simplicity. Understated and subtle, the work doesn’t only refer to itself, and it doesn’t explain everything. Through a monochromatic palette and skillful manipulation of light and shadow, his artworks invite contemplation and evoke a dialogue between the viewer and the art.
This 26-inch square post-minimalist artwork is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front. The artist signs the artwork on the back. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included.
Born in 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, Len Klikunas is a visionary artist who mesmerizes the art world with his minimalist paintings, blurring the line between art and architecture. Klikunas achieves a serene aesthetic by masterfully blending layers of paint and expertly manipulating light and shadow. The resulting compositions on canvas exude a subtle yet profound allure, inviting viewers to engage with their senses and explore the richly textured surfaces.
Len Klikunas' textural works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles. They have been exhibited and collected throughout the world.
