Installation view of Blair Thurman's exhibition at Gagosian, Geneva (2017)
Blair Thurman is an artist who uses paint to capture vibrations from reality and then give them form. Using shaped canvases, a technique Frank Stella initiated in the ‘60s, Thurman is searching for “Α pure way to paint”. Upon meeting Steven Parrino in 1988, he was confronted with his work, rectangular paintings, some of which were emptied out, forming the ovoid shape of a motorcycle belt, in which he observed speed, movement, but also a perfect representation of in!nity.
