Sven Lukin’s painting-sculptures straddle the line between art and design, between homey and modern. Throughout the 1960s his work took on all manner of "volumetric forms, geometric fields of color, and illusionistic lines and perspectives," according to the gallery.
Born in Riga, Latvia, Lukin moved to New York in 1958, and immediately started pushing the physical confines of the canvas, engaging in simple but unique forms and volumes, highlighting them with increasingly bold colors.
