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.

LightWork:
This is a lightwork, i.e. an illuminated painting.
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.
Dimensions & Frame
Dimensions: 90 x 120 cm
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.
Suspension System
This painting can be viewed from multiple sides. It has no specific top or bottom. We therefore invite you to decide for yourself what should be up, and whether it should be hung horizontally or vertically, depending on your space. This is a work of art that communicates with the room. How it is to be installed and how bright the light must shine is to be decided in and according to its new home. The painting has a hanging system on all four sides.

*Please note that this painting is heavier than a regular painting, so make sure it is installed on a reliable screw in the wall.

Materials

This lightwork has a type F electrical plug which. has two round pins, spaced about 2 cm apart, of the kind used in most countries in continental Europe. If you need a different kind of plug then please contact the artist.
LED Lifespan
Inside this lightwork are LED light panels with an estimated lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. What does that mean? Nearly 23 years if the light is on for 6 hours a day everyday! You have a lifetime warranty on the lamp in the painting because Floor really wants the light to stay on, so if the light were to break, do feel free to contact her. If you are abroad it is possible to send instructions and new lamps to your local framer.
