An immersive solo exhibition of ‘Thread’ and ‘Bubble’ paintings that potentialize space as its own personality;
Emil Lukas work is (Pittsburgh, 1964) a sustained attempt at challenging time and charming our gaze as a way of posing questions rather than offering answers.
Created by stretching out thousands of meters of colored threads placed by hand over a loom system that is the frame of the piece itself. Patterns and grids radiating from an aired center toward a denser perimeter and negative space emits lights an speaks to the vertical lines throughout.
Densities produce illusions of volume when beheld from distances. These pieces collapsing light, color upon the retina in an optical emotion to the viewer…
Emil Lukas’ work offers a glimpse at issues that transcend us. Devoid of pompous speech his honesty put us in an essentially human and universal place.”
