Christian Grossman

USA

American artist Christian Grossman is represented in the gallery by his 1975 acrylic painting Pulsacija No. 5 (Pulsation No. 5, 123 × 123 cm), signed on the edge of the canvas. It is a work of op art and geometric abstraction: many narrow parallel bands, shifting from dark brown to light sand, form a broken central figure reminiscent of the numeral 5 and a meander, while in two opposite corners the bands bend into arcs. The even gradation of tones creates an impression of relief, depth and light coming from within, and the strict geometric structure seems to pulse optically as one looks. The painting is square and executed in flat areas of colour without visible brushstrokes.
