Luminaries - #MS171115
Light art or luminism is an applied art form in which light is the main medium of expression. It is an art form in which either a sculpture produces light, or light is used to create a "sculpture" through the manipulation of light, colours, and shadows.
Lighting gives a painting structure; showing our eyes that there are objects and shapes to be seen. It is this structure that keeps our eyes interested and focussed on the scene that we are looking at. Whether we realise it or not, how a piece of art is lit can greatly affect how our eyes perceive it.
