Spherical Construction

In the first half of the 1920s, Kliun presented various combinations of geometric shapes in different colour scales, pushing the boundaries of Suprematism. Kliun was interested in the function of singular geometric shapes in space, and later explored the relationships between circular and linear shapes in compositions that testify to some influence of Rochenko's painting. His works, however, are characterized by a personal approach to form, space, material and composition. Kliun was also fascinated by the phenomenon of intersecting transparent planes, a kind of composition that recalls, to some extent, some of Popova's Cubo-Futurist and Painterly Architectonics.
