Appreciations towards Stephen Knapp for providing the following description:

美国艺术家Stephen Knapp以独创的光绘，掀起了21世纪艺术的新革命。他找到了绘画、雕塑与建筑的交汇点，以玻璃为笔，让虚无缥缈、平凡无奇的单色光线在他的作品中呈现出多变而璀璨的面貌。聚光灯投射出的光线经过附有金属涂层特制玻璃的折射与反射，被分离为光谱上不同波长的光。彩虹般绚烂的色彩四溢，极富视觉冲击力，也随着观看角度的变化而千变万化。

Stephen Knapp’s Lightpaintings are a new art form, a new beginning and the next step in the evolution of painting. Dispensing with traditional media and narrative content he is one of a small group of artists who work with light. Formed at the intersection of paintings, sculpture and architecture, his lightpaintings are intangible, multi-dimensional compositions of pure radiance making visible the light that surrounds us and transforming it into something physical yet inherently transcendental.

In his lightpaintings Stephen Knapp creates destinations, a sense of place. Behind the lush colors and striking compositions underlies a serious exploration of space and dimension, light and color and perception that will forever change how we look at objects.

Lightpaintings are created by using a special glass treated with layers of metallic coatings that act as a selective prism to separate focused light into different wavelengths of the spectrum. Knapp cuts, shapes and polishes the glass in his studio to make a palette that he can use to refract and reflect light onto a surface and the surrounding space.

Tailored to their immediate setting, Knapp’s lightpaintings embody an inherently unique and wholly original form of art that integrates sculptural, structural and purely visual elements into compositions that transform their environment and envelop the viewer in iridescent radiance. The resulting creation displays abstract art’s affinity with music; the relationship of form, space and color akin to those of melody, time signature and harmony.  Lightpaintings are in fact symphonies of color.
