Math Bass

New York, United States, 1981

            Math Bass's artistic practice encompasses painting, performance, sculpture, and video, constantly exploring the boundaries of contemporary art. One of the distinctive features of their work is the repetition of forms and symbols that, far from being codified into a single meaning, reveal difference at the heart of each iteration. This repetition, along with the fullness and lightness of geometric shapes, creates a visual experience in which the forms become abstract and acquire multiple points of view and reinterpretations.

            Recently, Bass has explored new painting techniques, transitioning from gouache on canvas to oil and linen. This shift has allowed for greater expressiveness in their work, as well as a deeper exploration of the relationship between material and meaning. Bass's new paintings are more pictorial and dreamlike, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of symbols and forms in constant evolution.

            In addition to their pictorial work, Bass also engages in performance, sound, video, and sculptural works. Through all these forms of expression, Bass challenges conventional notions of art and its interpretation, involving the viewer in a constant process of decipherment. Ultimately, Math Bass's work invites reflection on the nature of perception and meaning in contemporary art.
