Light and Space

Light and Space refers to an artistic movement that emerged in the 1960s, primarily in Southern California. Artists in this movement focus on how light interacts with structures and environments, often using minimalist forms to create immersive experiences. Their work emphasizes perception, inviting viewers to engage with light's effects and the spaces around them. The interplay of light and shadow can alter how we experience the artwork and our surroundings, making the experience more about sensing and feeling than just observing. This approach highlights the relationship between the viewer, the artwork, and the environment.
