Alexander Salvesen: Relations of Colour

Triptych sculpture dealing with colour and spatial perception, 2018

Led, Aluminium

We don’t see the world as it is, but as an intricate web of relations between everything. The eye is in constant motion trying to capture its environment, and creates together with the brain an ever changing view where we no longer can be sure where the change is happening.
Artwork is suitable for outdoor installation.
