1L AND 2L ILLUMINATION PAINTINGS
"The afford of modern painting has been directed not so much toward choosing between line and color, or even between the figuration of things and the creation of signs, as it has been toward multiplying the systems of equivalences, toward severing their adherence to the envelope of things. This effort might force us to create new materials or new means of expression, but it could well be realized at the times by the reexamination and reinvestment of those, which existed already."
Merleau-Ponty, Maurice; Baldwin,Thomas, Maurice Merleau-Ponty: basic writings, London and New York, Routledge, 2004, page 313
The interest in "classical" painting can be seen in its many practical and theoretical re-considerations, new understanding contemporary painting solutions that are able to go beyond the conception of painting as a traditional medium and find the strength to take a step into something new and futuristic.
1L and 2L illumination paintings intend to blend the virtual and actual and fuse them in world where one mirrors with an underlying focus on transporting characteristic of the virtual into actual realm and improve notions of physical space. I have a motivation to work with what's on hand and I am making a statement by imitating the technology and ultimately getting a stronger and tactile image.
