"The more we learn about the smallest particles, the more we break down our reality into tiny parts, the more it seems that our world is made up of something that is not even tangible."
In this series of works, we see Kalab play with his own style. The canvases envelope over each other; rounded edges and curves seeming to glide into one another, much like being viewed under a microscope. The colours are inspired by nuclear fission, the huge amounts of energy which is created when an atom is split. The works appear hot, fiery and molten.

NUCLEON series
We see Kalab pushing the boundaries of what a painting on canvas can be. Playing with not only shapes, but depths and textures, his works leaning into the experimental theme beautifully. He has created a new style of works which haven’t been seen before, presented as the ‘Nucleon’ series. Created by carving wooden canvases and layering individually painted circles on top, Kalab has created something between painting and sculpture; a flat surface which appears to be moving not only away from the wall, but within itself.
