Perception and color
Print Edition
BRITISH visual artist Ann Averonica Janssens’ work is on display at Hong Kong’s Axel Verwoordt Gallery through July 5. It is Janssens’ first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, featuring five new works of sculptures, each with its own play of color and light subtly offering a different phenomenological experience.
Janssens’ work seeks to unbalance perceptive experience. By means of color and light the artist activates space. The viewer’s gaze is triggered and looking at her work means being a part of it. Janssens isolates sensory experiences. She fragments them, reduces them to their most essential aspects and transforms these into abstract shapes and ephemeral materials. The viewer is thus invited to become more aware of how they perceive space and the impact of the slightest sensual stimulus.
The major work in the exhibition is Janssens’ “Magic Mirror,” which diffracts light and projects color into space. Though the mirror appears pink, it is in fact colorless. Seeing color becomes an active process. Only when the viewer experiences the work, like when one looks at themselves in the mirror, do different colors appear.
