The exhibition followed through three galleries, exploring colour and light in industrial materials such as glass, copper, aluminium and zinc. He created an iridescent and unusual colouring for industrial materials by using heat which created a beautiful effect on a usually ordinary material.
It was interesting to view an object that we see everyday in buildings and construction as a piece of artwork, that had been altered to create a different viewing experience from each angle the viewer is standing. I feel that the the individual pieces of art were beautiful when you brought them all together, but would have been equally as enjoyable alone. I do feel that the gallery experience could have been more fluent as there was another artists work in between the galleries, which disturbed the feeling of the exhibition.
My favourite piece of art in the exhibition was the photograms which were created by combusting Lycopodium onto photosensitive paper. It interests me as this form of art can only partially be controlled, and the reality is that the outcome may not be that exciting. The scale of the art was extraordinary. The colour of these photograms is linked with my current colour palette that I have been working on in the process of creating a colour mood board.
