FORMAE III

Starting from the desire to shape the Light, lorenzoArs wraps the viewer in an imaginative and multi-sensorial experience that comes to life from the darkness. The artist started this long and ambitious project in the ’90s, using analogical photographic equipment and today, during the International Year of Light 2015, he exhibits the Aesthetic of the Light. The sculptural approach of his research shows how light “form” and “trans- form” the empty space, when it intercepts a sensitive medium. His “sculptures of light” enclose and then evoke the pictorial matter and the plastic materials. The molded Light is, in turn, the element of a communication process, which aims to catch the truth of vision and perception. A dynamic depth where colors create an indefinite dimension. Sign disappears, Light changes and shapes appearances. Subject to the “law of change”, light creates harmonies between sensory and transcendence. LUX INFORMAE turns, in fact, the two-dimensional being of the Photography into a “multiple points of view” setting to attract the viewer in a designed three-dimensional space. You have the sensation of floating in unstable figures, where the suggestion of the shapes is merges with that of the observer. Between density and transparency, light-sculptures emphasize the light-dark dichotomy that does not exclude symbolic values related to Life and Body. The “body of the light” borns, it is formed and evolves, creating a tangible immateriality. So, this series recombines the physical reality and the apparent one, fusing and con-fusing them to create harmony. Imaginative passion emerges thank to the genesis of colors that invade the space, modeling it. The experience – to which we are subjected – is so intimately connected with the
light-space. So, this exhibition will grow, mutate and evolve in an infinite series, which recalls the sense of our life and its flow. LorenzoArs firm the matter-form-light connection showing, at the same time, the unstable boundaries of all the artistic techniques.
The exhibition concerns the Light that moulds the matter and is an Official event of the UNESCO International Year of Light and Light based Technologies (IYL2015).
