Light and Space is an artistic movement that emerged in the 1960s, primarily in California. It focuses on the interplay between light, color, and the physical environment. Artists in this movement often create installations that manipulate natural and artificial light to enhance the perception of space, inviting viewers to experience their surroundings in new ways. Key figures in the Light and Space movement include artists like James Turrell and Robert Irwin. Their works often emphasize the sensory experience of light, using materials such as glass and acrylic to alter how light interacts with the viewer and the space around them. This approach encourages a deeper engagement with the environment.
