Hugo Roelandt

Colourframe / Nuances van Wit / Variaties van Wit , 1993

As part of his studies at the HISK, Roelandt experimented extensively with light, colour and space. The fact that he also taught colourimetry as a subject at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp was reflected in the works from this period. He taped the windows of his studio with transparent Congo blue foil, stacked television sets either emitting (displaying) static or displaying the colours red, green and blue, displayed his signature, signed in light, combined 12 white fluorescent tubes at different colour temperatures in a single installation, put together a bouquet of green fluorescent tubes, and so on and so forth.
