Although I am planning to exhibit my work online I really want to research as many different exhibitions as possible to understand how to present work. The Jonathan Levine gallery had an exhibition of environmental artist Josh Keyes work. The exhibition was beautifully curated, in a dimmed room, using spotlights to highlight each individual painting.
This exhibition is a good example of the effects of lighting on a show. The dimly lit room and spotlights on the paintings really accentuates each canvas, setting it apart from the stark white walls. Without the lighting the paintings could have become lost in their surroundings and lacked definition, instead they are framed by their shadows and the room as a whole becomes more atmospheric and involving.
