“Cube #54” is a sculpture created in 2005 by Larry Bell, an artist associated with the Light and Space art movement. The artwork exemplifies the principles of this movement, which emphasizes the perceptual effects of light and the interaction with space. This sculpture is a meticulously crafted transparent cube that demonstrates Bell’s use of reflective and refractive materials.
The artwork is a clear, geometric cube with subtle, gradated colors emanating from its surfaces, creating a delicate play of light and shadow within its confines. The cube stands on a clear pedestal, allowing viewers to fully appreciate its ethereal quality and the way it interacts with its surroundings. The choice of materials and design invites observers to contemplate the nature of perception, transparency, and the interaction of light with different surfaces.
