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. The natural-like radiation that comes from the structure of the materials and color schemes expresses calmness. The meditative process of the work is achieved through the transformation and subtle layering of geometric and organic shapes. This 34-inch square post-minimalist artwork is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. The artist signs and titles the artwork on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. 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. His original artworks, often taking on a monochromatic palette with an emphasis on the interplay of black and white, create a three-dimensional structure on canvas, manipulating visual perception to reshape our experience of reality. Inspired by the Japanese concept of shizen, Klikunas achieves a serene aesthetic through protruding forms, textured surfaces, and masterful shadow work, resulting in compositions that are understated, yet profoundly captivating. Len Klikunas' sculptural works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles. They have been exhibited and collected worldwide.
