Planar Scheme: Kati Vilim

Through her work, Kati Vilim deals with the classic issues of color, form and movement. She says, “I am composing the elements of structure, proportion, rhythm and color…reminding us of musical or architectural concepts where these different qualities are organized to a new form”. For this installation, Vilim has responded to the architectural specificities of the space, including the uniform grey cinder block construction of the University’s institutional modernist building. Her methodical approach is evidenced in the geometric forms where she has bypassed contemporary tricks to paint all her hard edged objects with an unwavering hand. Many experimental drawings are created by the artist as the work evolves. The outcome is an actual palimpsest of ideas, presented in a distilled form, with a synthesis of lines, color and form.
