21c LED Translucent Canvas

From ConTEMPO 2020 Art Innovations

  MVR Solo Exhibition of Lucent Mixed Media Art Works

 

Above works first developed in 2020 in response to the Covid-19 crisis in NYC unfolding daily since the pandemic in the US began.

 

During the weekend of NYC’s Covid-19 Lockdown, I advanced 4 Standing Free Canvas works by backlighting the archival canvas print of each with LED color strips. Then with Hard Pastel media I fine-tuned each cyclically  to 16 distinct RGB colors at their brightest.  Pinpointing nuanced changes by illuminated light on canvas pastels was subject of serious investigation .

 

2021 Then works gave rise to 2 nascent inventions identified . They then  defined materials and their assembly for prototypes of them. These Prototypes, in kind, finalized works’ compositions and end colors, exacting great skill, quality materials, & clarity -- visually and thematically -- through many giclee iterations.
