About the artist

Math Bass ’s practice spans across painting, performance, sculpture, and video. Throughout their work, recognizable forms appear and yet turn abstract, becoming shapes rather than signifiers, like shadows manipulated by the sun. Repetition is used as a tool to foreground these forms as part of a visual lexicon Bass has been developing in the Newz! Series. Forms and symbols exist in a multitude of perspectives and (re)interpretation, suggesting the possibility of mutable meaning. Although graphic in the flatness of the forms, there is a crispness and lightness to Bass’s geometric abstraction—thin layers of opaque paint are delicately applied to raw canvas. Bass explores breaking down the common boundaries found within the medium(s) and modes of presentation in order to actively engage the viewer in both surreal and everyday ways
