Art Trail
There is a place where Spring runs forever, where the sky glistens, the sun always shines and flowers are in bloom. It is a place where delightful discovery abounds; imagination runs wild and where insight permeates all dreams. At the gateway of this world flutter a gathering of welcoming butterflies, their vibrant wing colours preparing you for a kaleidoscopic world ahead whilst bathing you with colour shadows below. Theirs is an invitation to look up into the sky, to seek joy, to enter into possibilities and into a bright future. Welcome to a world of wonder, solace and opportunities.
From the complexity of intricate landscapes and ecosystems; to those symbiotic relationships between life and the environment; nature provides enormous deposits of beauty, awe and opportunities for discovery and knowledge. Butterflies are a perfect distillation of nature that encapsulate it’s wonder and intricate complexities.
The well-known colourful wings of butterflies are a result of light’s interaction with and passage through fine structures found within the wings, that alters light’s pathway to create colour It is the internal fine structure within their wings that provides a physical obstacle course for light to overcome in its pathway. Light’s passage through these deep structures alters its path and selects for certain colours to become visible, providing the astonishingly vibrant and vivid colours that butterflies are known for.
It is such visceral achievements by nature that enlighten the process of discovery and prompt us to look deeper into natures to understand is majesty and intricacies and to learn from them.
In the case of Bright Future/Sanctuary, the butterflies are created using specialised optical filters that alter light’s passage through them to create colour that is always under constant change. Altering your perspective of the butterflies, alter their colour; a case of technology mimicking nature to try and better capture the beauty of nature.
Artist Nick Athanasiou is the founder of Skunk Control, who create engaging and immersive experiences that provide the public with a sense of wonderment and opportunities to make delightful discoveries. Drawing on technology, art, and a mantra to create works that encourage a belief in (the concept of) as many as 6 impossible things before breakfast, their creations are informed by large dollops of colour, light and a splash of whimsy that harkens back to one’s formative years of learning.
Highpoint is proud to present Bright Future as part of its Highpoint Art Journey.
