Photographer #14 - Qiu Minye

Sculptures showered in light by Qiu Minye


Looking online I found this website: http://artistsinspireartists.com/sculpture/sculptures-showered-in-light-by-qiu-minye
The website allowed me to take inspiration from artist who create beautifully stunning pieces of work. Not only does it show work from artists and sculptors but other creatives like photographers and musicians. Here is one artist I found who looked at light and the way it can be turned into art.

"Chinese photographer Qiu Minye bathes his sculptures in sparks of light. The blue and purple toned pieces are showered with sparks that follow the silhouette of the forms and leave luminous trails as they bounce to the floor. In doing so, Minye alters the recognizable form into delicate and transparent shapes of animals, humans, and abstract objects. In his ongoing series, My God, the photographer aims to manipulate time and light to create his ethereal and delicate images. “A spark is a unit of time,” he says. “Flashes of light, give this life. This work is a response to temporal life.”

His work looks at the human form and the "luminous light trails". These two mixed create these pieces of art that would look amazing in the night. The small lights show a delicacy for human nature but the large scale of them can counteract this and how the dramatic effect of them.  I would love to recreate something similar using lights by maybe incorporating lights in nature and show a comparison between nature and people who live in it.
