Eric Cahan | on Tumblr (USA) - Sky Series
Several focal points define the work of New York-based artist Eric Cahan. Among them: light, specifically the light generated by the sun at sunrise and sunset, science, nature, and the ephemeral quality of memories. These considerations are in play when, equipment in tow, Cahan heads outside at a carefully chosen hour of morning or evening to begin creating one of his flawless, ethereal works of art. Cahan himself made most of the work for his current project, Sky Series, during his extensive travels. Each photograph and sculpture is titled with the time and location of its conception. In this way, Cahan catalogues his visual journal. “ During my travels, I discover what I want to document. My works are titled to remind me of the experience, both visually and spiritually.” Cahan’s viewers see in his work his unique interpretation of a specific time and place. Please visit artist’s website or follow his Tumblrfor more work and inspiration.

Red, Green and Blue are three installations by Canadian/UK artist, David Spriggs that continue the artist’s exploration of the physicality and spatial perception of colour.

Best of 2012: How Light Affects Paint Colors This post got a lot of attention earlier in the year. Lighting is a critical component to how our wall colors are perceived. This post is a little experiment I ran to prove how deeply light affects paint colors.

Our world needs more color and more art. What an awesome commission.

The private commission involved completely painting a historic Church in Ward 6 a waterfront neighborhood of Washington DC. This up and coming area is located directly across the street from a planned 20,000 sqft museum that will house the Rubell’s collection of art and a newly planned hotel. -

The project is situated at the crossing between vertical and horizontal circulatory movements, interpreted as the flux. the framework is an abstraction of the knot created by the crossing of each pedestrian’s virtual trace at this precise point in the flon area.

Here’s an interesting design question…would you be willing to paint the interior of your home with light instead of paint? What if, for instance, your walls changed color with the seasons or the time of day?
the magic of lighting: who needs paint when you have light
