Overview
"Luminous Kinetics: Sculpting with Light in Motion" is a visionary exhibition presented at Charles Burnand Gallery for London Design Festival which promises to be an extraordinary fusion of kinetic light sculptures and contemporary artworks that explore the dynamic interplay of light and movement. This exhibition features pioneering artists, Studio Élémentaires and Dawn Bendick, who challenge traditional boundaries, creating pieces that captivate with their fluidity and luminous brilliance. 
 
As always, Simon Stewart, Founder and Creative Director of Charles Burnand Gallery seeks to enhance the interaction between these two distinct art forms. “The kinetic sculptures and dichroic glass pieces will be strategically placed to create a harmonious dialogue of light and movement. The importance of people not only being able to observe but also interact and experience the interplay between light and movement will create a captivating visual exhibition”.
 
"Luminous Kinetics" is an experience that transcends traditional art boundaries. It celebrates the convergence of technology, light, and artistic vision, with a view to leave visitors inspired by the beauty and complexity of contemporary kinetic and glass art.
