ON VIEW THROUGH OCTOBER 16, 2023
Guild Hall Marks Family Gallery South
Celestial Garden will feature a never-before-exhibited monumental LED artwork accompanied by a soundscape and artist-designed furniture. The new light sculpture is composed of an array of LEDs over ten feet high and twenty-eight feet wide that is encased in a vinyl membrane. The artwork comes alive with perpetually evolving forms created by using custom software that orchestrates the compositions. An audio soundscape accompanies the visual display.
Villareal’s abstract compositions, inspired by nature’s intricate patterns, unfold in real-time and envelop the viewer in a dynamic interplay of light and sound where space and time intertwine.
