Though created technologically, Villareal creates light works that are imbued with an organic, living quality. The numerical sequences of the artist's programming are manifested as pulsing light, inviting the viewer to search out patterns and rhythms that are familiar and that correspond to the natural world.
Digital Light Sculpture
Conner Contemporary Art is pleased to present the digital light sculpture
of New York based
new media artist Leo Villareal in his first solo exhibition + installation
in Washington, DC.
Though created technologically, Villareal creates light works that are
imbued with an organic, living quality.
The numerical sequences of the artist's programming are manifested as
pulsing light, inviting the viewer to search
out patterns and rhythms that are familiar and that correspond to the
natural world.
The sculptures breathe, throb, pound, and whisper …. the results are both
mesmerizing and sensational.
The patterns in Villareal's light pieces occur on many levels - in the
structure of the work, in the colors of the
bulbs, and in the rhythm of the pulsing lights. Villareal employs all of
these elements to create complex, layered
systems that explore both spatial and temporal resolution. The works in the
exhibition will share underlying
structures but also take on unique personalities through variations in form
and scale.
During the exhibition, the gallery front windows overlooking Connecticut
Avenue in historic Dupont Circle will
be taken over by a grid installation of constantly changing rhythmic
patterns of the light.
