Lucian Wester

Biography

Lucian Wester is a Rotterdam based artist, in 2011 he finished his bachelor in Photography at St. joost in Breda. Through his work he connects scientific principles, phenomena and effects and tries to understand them in a different context than that of evidence, a context that is linked to the discourse of art and aesthetics. By deconstructing and abstracting photography he is able to reflect upon the medium and its status in our present society.


Abstract

His work exists of several experiments whereof most have been created in the darkroom. A large triptych of color gradients were created by the physical principal that light weakens over space, which leaves the gradients on the photosensitive colorpaper. The paper is exposed two times with complementary colors that merge into each other and created a vague greyish tint where they meet. In a number of smaller works an optic is placed on photosensitive paper during the exposure. These works show the complexity of light behaviour through optical instruments, for instance a lens focuses the light, but also reflects light as well inside as outside the optic.
