Paul Baartmans: light-art

 

“My main material is light.
Whether working for a gallery presentation or in commission for the public domain, I like to toy around with dynamic factors like movement, randomness and interactivity.
Another important motive is to create works that can cope with their surroundings on a monumental scale. Diverging ingredients such as shadow, rhythm, sound, reflections, interference of wavelengths, combinations of light art and architecture or (urban) nature; all this can contribute to a variegation of results, whereas my main aim is to provoke feelings of surprise and wonder.
The ultimate goal, however, would be sharing the fun of playing with all there is to play with.”
