Place of origin |
The artist has attempted to expand beyond the confines of printmaking as a traditionally two dimensional format. It parallels his shaped and floppy canvases in painting which attempt to move beyond the fixed rigidity of framed works. The title references the use of the same 'pure forms' found in Russian Suprematist art.
