Luftwerk Soleil Levant, 2021
presented by Volume GalleryThese new circular, concave wall sculptures by Chicago-based Luftwerk are painted with gradients that are illuminated by an embedded perimeter of changing LED lights. As the shifting light interacts with the painted surface, the color seems to breathe, expand, and recede. Their title, Soleil Levant, is borrowed from a Monet painting of a seascape at sunrise.
