“Painting Air” by Spencer Finch

“Painting Air”, by Spencer Finch: Click to see video

I recently saw an installation at the RISD Museum of Art entitled “Painting Air” by Spencer Finch and was mesmerized.

Finch was inspired by his visit to the water gardens created by Claude Monet at his home and studio in Giverny, France. Finch was struck by how the water was always in flux as a result of shifting air currents and conditions of light.

Walking along the perimeter of the room, visitors can see through the dozens of suspended glass panels to the overlapping squares of colors, inspired by the color palette of  Monet,  painted on the walls along the perimeter of the installation beyond the glass. The air currents created by your movement through the exhibit gently rotate the glass panels causing them to sometimes reflect the colors throughout the room. The effect is both ethereal and sublime. Wow!

Black & White

Most designers I know love black and white images. I think it is because it reduces the image down to its bare essentials and keeps you focused on the content and composition of the image. Don’t get me wrong, I love color, but we are bombarded with so much imagery every day, that it’s refreshing to see a black and white image.

The attached images were shot with my iPhone and then converted to black and white using the Photoshop Express application.  -PK
