The first virtual "Artists on Artists” highlights the work of artist Nevine Mahmoud (b. 1988, London). Mahmoud’s visceral practice uses materials often associated with their hardness, durability, and heft such as concrete, marble, and granite, to create vibrant organic, even erotic, forms. Mahmoud, who currently works and lives in Los Angeles, will reflect on the work of Scott Burton (b. 1939, Greensboro, AL; d.1989, New York, NY), an artist who also shared an affinity for dense materials, bold shapes, and an interest in the relationship between the human body and Modernist geometries. Mahmoud will specifically reflect on Burton’s Memorial Bench, 1990 which sits at the entrance to MOCA’s Grand Avenue location.
