Light and colour are inseparable. When an acrylic sculpture---Turning Point by Michael Wilkinson is placed in a completely dark room, nothing is visible. If the lamp holder is turned on, then there is light. But it doesn’t mean colour is present. There must have eyes and brain to interpret the energy radiation.
Unfortunately, even all the above requirements exist colour still can't be found on Turning Point. Why? Because colourless acrylic sculpture accompanied with white light bulb is white in colour, theoretical speaking white is achromatic.
Should the artist add some colour to the sculpture or change the light bulb. But Mr. Wilkinson strongly believes that the existing condition including the lighting can perform the mood of the artwork best.
What sorts of mood? Under the idea of colour symbolism, in western society white is generally associated with holy, innocent and pure, etc. Were they the moods that Mr. Wilkinson wants to express? I guess that is no best answers. It all depends. Based on the colour knowledge that I have, in human perception white is a combination of all the visible spectral colours: red, orange, green, blue and purple. Then Turning Point just likes white light which embraces numerical uncertainties. They can be sweet (orange), sour (yellow), bitter (blue), spicy (red), all of them are a mystery (purple).
I think the best of achromatic is that they leave lots of empty places for us to imagine and discover.
Meanwhile a French Champaign House Veuve Clicquot has launched a new product: Globalight- a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rose encased by an isotherm bottle carrier which is in oval shape with adjustable pink light. In short, the bottle is surrounded by illumination. This time the mood of the pink light is clear: grand, charming, sexy, romantic and mysterious.
