Loud minimalist expressions and electric colors
fuse in Greg Bogin’s abstract mirrors for the Normann x
Brask Art Collection, creating objects that straddle the
boundary between painting and functional object. His
raison d’être is to contribute to the creation of a happy
reflection that can be carried back into our daily lives.
As augmented versions of Bogin’s distinctive bright
outlines, colored aluminum tubes frame the mirrors
halfway, forming a glossy rounded nook for the mirror
glass. The three mirrors embrace the same bubbly mode
of expression, but are unique in shape, size and color.
Their playful silhouettes brim with happiness, whilst
their references to visual communication give them an
elusive familiarity.
Alongside his fluorescent lines and gradients, Bogin’s
works often feature large expanses of uncluttered white
space. Here, the mirror takes the place of the empty
space, changing its character from blank space to living
surface, and leaving it up to the user to fill in the blank.
Bogin expands the experience of his work and quite
literally reflects that experience back at the world.
