Light Artist Presentation

on

For my choice of a Light Artist would be Carnovsky. I at first thought that it is the artist’s last name, but surprisingly it is a duo by the name of Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla.

The Carnovsky duo uses RGB light filters to present art with 3 different drawings in primary colors of magenta, cyan, and yellow in each of their own layers, to which you have to see each separately with RGB light filters.

Artwork named “Vesalio”, one of Carnovsky’s RGB artwork which is based on the 16th century anatomical drawings of Andreus Vesalius.

Carnovsky uses a combination of RGB lights and filters to create layered images that change depending on the color of light projected onto them.

They do say it is a bit difficult due to the process of drawing three images instead of one and each one of them have to look good, but also be able to look good with the other two.

Using the lights as different wavelengths, “The red filter makes one of the worlds emerge in a clear, sharp and obvious way, hiding the other two. It’s like a wide-awake state. The blue one instead does not hide the other two worlds. We like to think about it as the world that is deep inside, so we use this level as a sort of hidden meaning, with fantastic creatures and sea monsters as in the Animalia series, a guffawing monkey tribe in La Jungla series, or a mythical procession in the Landscapes series.”

Here are the effects of the RGB Light filters in action.
