Enlivened by his interest in spacial structures and inter-
connectivity, Andre Kan's paintings serve as excitable
blueprints for a possible reality. Each work depicts
the artist's signature imaginative building blocks that
converge and begin to build upon each other and
strengthen each other in an ever transforming space.
Kan's structures are substantial and complex but not
anchored—they float suspended in his psychological
space. In this way, his buildings remain a playful proposition for the viewer not
yet tied to a specific place or function. He propels us towards an optimistic future
where new connections and constructions have yet to materialize.
Luminate acts as a signifier that reminds us all of the psychological and physical
importance of "lighting up" our environment and creating a positive aura despite
the hardships that shadow us with fear. Through its movement, energy and mark-
ings, the brain sculpture Luminate suggests that even the smallest mark can make
a world of a difference in our interconnected experience.
