Len Klikunas
Len Klikunas was born in 1944 in Chicago, Illinois. Klikunas constructs altered three dimensional canvases and paints them to modify experienced reality through visual perception. The "Blocks" series is a mix of art and architecture, hovering between minimalist painting and sculpture. It employs shizen (自然): the Japanese concept of naturalness, absence of pretense or artificiality.
His works explore a dynamic and graceful movement through the use of protruding forms, textured surfaces, and masterful shadow work. The work is characterized by “mindful artlessness” and simplicity and is understated and subtle.
