Suprematism & Emergency Blanket, 2018, stainless steel tubes, emergency blankets, dimensions variable

Suprematism denies the importance of objective visual representation, emphasizing the supreme rationality of abstract emotion. Its radical ideas have influenced a wide range of artistic and social practices. The artist uses recurring geometric forms from Suprematist works as a framework, draping them with an emergency blanket, with the intent of invoking a return to avant-garde spirit.
