SPECTRA
CHRISTIANE GRIMM
04 JUNE - 11 JULY
Christiane Grimm constructs environments where light serves as the primary structural element. Her background as a trained architect informs a practice rooted in "illusory architecture". The creation of profound three-dimensional depth within the physical boundaries of a wall-mounted object. The title Spectra refers to the continuous, shifting bands of color produced by the refraction of light. Grimm captures this optical phenomenon, presenting light not as a static subject, but as a kinetic force that actively engages the viewer's physical presence.
FEATURED ARTIST
CHRISTIANE GRIMM
Since the mid 1980s, Christiane Grimm has been creating color and light spaces, focusing her research on the luminosity of color, its nuances, combinations, and effects on viewers. A trained architect and self-taught artist, Grimm works with various materials, including oils, acrylics, pastels, perspex, antique glass and ribbed glass. She creates visual objects, architectural light sculptures, and boxes that explore how color perception is influences by lighting and material. Her works often feature milky ribbed glass that refracts light, producing a variety oh hues and a sensual effect resulting from the interplay between color, composition, space, material and lightning. Grimm's exploration extends to the phenomenon where a color's value is never absolute but varies in combination with other colors, highlighting the dynamic nature of color perception.
