Fractured Light: Interpreting Surrounding Activity and Energy - Artist Statement
Fractured Light is also known as Broken Colour -
It is a painting technique developed in the 1870s by a group of unconventional artists now known as the Impressionists.
The broken light theory follows that light comes from the sun traveling in waves; different lengths bending, reflecting, deflecting—depending on air moisture. Light refracts as it enters the moist air, which is separated into spectral colours.
We all see colours differently according to how our eyes interpret the colour.
The impressionist technique is the use of visible brush strokes depicting the passage of time and changes of light along the subject being painted.
I’ve sought to capture my vision of the light reflecting at different angles in my paintings, depicting
sunlight interacting with moving light, moisture and air, as the light reflects at different angles on raindrops and moisture.
