A new update from Mural Social Club in Kiev with Argentinian geometrist Elian exploring the behavior of colors layed out in slabs and slices, creating a composition that is the more than the sum of its parts. There is a certain liberty that an artist like this can take with made-to-fit compositions that acknowledge the empty as well as the filled.

Elian followers will also notice that he is using only solids here, no transparency. It may be a sign of confidence in selections; a willingness to strip back to the most necessary and fundamental. It is certainly a sign that the evolution of this artist is still in motion.
