LUMEN / 01

Image plate 70 × 100 cm Limited edition of 49

Made to order 7–14 working days

A round space of light in the upper half of the image, surrounded by a dark, almost black ground. The glow has no edge: it weakens towards the rim and passes into darkness without a boundary.

LUMEN is the darkest work in the series. The brushed texture of the aluminium remains visible as a fine linear structure even in the dark areas and is clearest in the bright centre. From a distance the circle of light looks still and closed; up close and from the side its brightness shifts with the viewing angle.

First work in COLLECTION 01: the moment light comes into being.

Making

Direct print on silver brushed aluminium Dibond, a 3 mm aluminium composite panel measuring 70 × 100 cm. The brushed texture of the metal is not covered up but remains part of the image – in LUMEN / 01 most clearly in the bright centre.

Framed in an aluminium shadow-gap frame, matt black (RAL 9017): 9 mm narrow face, 34 mm depth, 5 mm shadow gap all round. The image plate is bonded on the back to a carrier frame, which is fixed inside the frame with black rivets.

A heavy-duty hanger sits centrally in the groove of the frame profile. It slides sideways so the work can be levelled precisely.

Each work is made individually to order and assembled by hand in Langen (Hesse), Germany.
