Rainbow Lush

Richard Garet’s Rainbow Lush focuses on shape and colors itself insisting on nothing beyond its borders. The work emerged from flash-instants in a continuous stream of generative video imagery exploring the qualities and potentials of time modulation and light emission. Rainbow Lush begins with a stream of layers of color and form put into a constant and non-repeating state of excited motion. From this visually overwhelming flow, Garet then pulls discreet frames, which become the starting points for the digital manipulations that in turn become the final work. Each frame asserts a form that threatens to overwhelm its borders. The perimeter balanced or conflicting across strict boundaries approaches a kind of incandescence through their saturation and combination. The moving image comprised of frame compositions has the quality of an actual source of light, bridging the worlds of reflective and emanative luminous phenomena.
