Kasper Raglus

Says Kasper Raglus of his series 'Unfold', “Something my father (artist Jeff Raglus) instilled in me is the magic of getting the balance right between two or three colours. I can’t separate the relationship between art and life, because I base my art on my life. My compositions and lines speak to the coastal landscape which I call home. As I watch the horizon from the top of a surfboard, I can’t help but notice the repetitious geometries in my environment. Watching sets roll in translates into multiple lines across my compositions.

“Making these works certainly allowed me to do that as I dealt with two major moments in my own life – finding out that my grandmother had passed and that my wife was pregnant with our first baby. The bittersweet timing of this news was not something I could control. I had to adjust and be open to these inevitable changes in life. Through making this body of work I had allowed myself to experience the emotions and give myself a moment to unfold.”
