C Dutch

C. Dutch creates works that emphasize experimentation, exploration and play. He uses materials such as vinyl, handmade optics, dichroic plastic, acrylics and resins to explore the formal qualities of light and color. The recent works Phototonics, Shapes of Light, and Sublime Subdued, hover between the realms of painting and sculpture. Influences include photographic techniques, optics, and distinctly southern California art movements such as the Light and Space Movement, Finish Fetish Aesthetics and OP Art. Each work is uniquely influenced by perceptions such as physiological effects of light and optics.

C. Dutch creates works that emphasize experimentation, exploration, and play. He uses materials such as handmade optics, polymer films, acrylics, and resin to explore the formal qualities of light and color. Ironically, the materials were collected and used earlier in his photography studio.

"Light in a work can express many emotions including strength, sensitivity, awe, wonder, calm, and enlightenment." - C. Dutch
