John Koenig coined the term ‘Liberosis’ in The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. Liberosis is: “…the desire to care less about things – to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you…”
I really like this word, I like its sound and its meaning. I chose it as the title for this work because it is good to loosen your grip on your life sometimes. To be less afraid and to let things change. Like how this painting changes. When this lightwork is turned off it is soft and the emphasis is on the horizontal stripes, whilst, when turned on, the painting changes direction and the vertical lines become more dominant with fearless colors shining through.
It is painted on canvas which is not affixed to a wooden stretcher frame, but to a transparent plexiglass plate which is installed together with a light inside the frame of the painting. This makes it easy to replace the LED light panel when necessary, which might not be required until 50,000 burning hours.
Frame: This lightwork painting is set within a black frame, which this includes the lighting system, and the back is finished with a sturdy plate. At the back, the cord comes out in the middle. The light work can be dimmed with the small black remote control.
*Please note that this painting is heavier than a regular painting, so make sure it is installed on a reliable screw in the wall.
