ART

Alvar Gullichsen's (b. 1961) works from his geometric period (2010-) are a continuation of modernist abstract art. He is interested in transcultural, universal forms and patterns that recur in the world. Gullichsen’s approach to modernism is visionary, incorporating an open-minded curiosity toward psychedelia, esotericism, transcendental philosophy, mysticism, and spiritual traditions. His square compositions, or “modules,” serve as starting points for architectural spatial illusions, which Gullichsen conceives as inner temples, archetypal states of the soul, inviting the viewer to step inside.
