Emil Lukas’s cast-plaster works are composed of a honeycomb of cells, individually stained through an accrual of water-soluble pigments that get blotted out, are allowed to soak in, or evaporate to leave their glittering shadows. Seen head-on, the multi-colored pixels create shimmering fields — a kind of nonobjective pointillism. Viewed from the edge, they have the sculptural quality of soft stone, pitted and polished by water. Lukas combines his keen optical understandings and sophisticated color sense to create a sculptural iridescence.
