The artwork titled “Piccadilly,” created by Robert Irwin in 2012, belongs to the Light and Space art movement and falls within the installation genre.
The artwork consists of multiple vertical fluorescent light tubes mounted on a wall, arranged in a sequential manner. The light tubes emit various shades of green, white, and other colors, creating a visually engaging interplay of light and color. The installation is structured to invite the observer to experience the subtle shifts in ambient light and the spatial relationship within the room. The minimalist design and the use of everyday materials reflect the core principles of the Light and Space movement, emphasizing perception and sensory experience. The setting, with its simple yet profound aesthetic, encourages contemplation and a heightened awareness of the environment.
