Shay Frisch Peri’s language is the outcome of a mindset that tends to pit art’s productive gesture against the modularity of industrial production. This gives rise to his paradigmatic essentiality and reduction of the creative process to the clearness of a gesture that can be controlled and repeated. Vital thrust and surgical precision support the creative strategy that gives form to the material or precociously dematerializes it as an installation.

Frisch Peri confirms minimal art’s primary line of investigation, with an analysis of the structural elements upon which the notion of painting and sculpture rests: light and space. His works and installations shed light on such an analysis through a phenomenal process which presents these painterly values as a concrete event. Light is not represented in the geometric rhythms of futurism, but rather highlighted and rendered volumetric through formal structuring which concretely frames and contains it.
