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.
