In the parking garage below the TD-building, small abstract paintings are placed. Unlike usual paintings, these artworks emit light and gradually change in appearance. The colors are generated by LEDs placed behind the canvas. They are programmed to gradually increase or decrease in brightness, creating new color blends and compositions.
The subtle light paintings make us aware of how we usually perceive and attribute meaning to art. The artist specifically refers to abstract painting of the 20th century, where concrete color and the experience of that color are central. Appelt questions to what extent our way of looking and seeing is determined by tradition, knowledge, and memory.
About the artist
Siegrun Appelt’s work revolves around perception. In some installations, she focuses on the physical aspects of perception, creating a sea of light that almost blinds the viewer. For GLOW, she has created a more intimate work.
