The artwork titled “Mongo The Planet” was created by James Turrell in 2001. It belongs to the Light and Space art movement, known for its focus on perception and the manipulation of light and space. The artwork is a part of the artist’s Magnatron Series and falls under the genre of installation art.
In the artwork, there is a bright blue form, possibly a square or rectangle, prominently displayed against a plain, light-colored background. Below this form is a simple metal chair facing the blue shape on the wall. The composition evokes a sense of calm and contemplation, characteristic of Turrell’s exploration of space and light, inviting viewers to engage with the perception of color and the surrounding environment.
