The Luminous Series is a collection of new work by William G. Prettie, and Edmonton-based multidisciplinary artist.
Prettie has spent the last few years exploring colour, shape and technique in his work. The result is a collection of abstracts that reflect, refract and glow with light. "It is my hope," says Prettie, "that these images free you from the tethers of your rational mind if only for a moment to allow the viewer to return to the child's unbiased emotional response." These paintings are the result; an assortment of compelling imagery designed to provoke a raw emotional response.
According to Prettie, "The colour of delight has a shape that is here expressed in the brights as well as the distant. ... Bliss lurks. Rapture hides. But never leaves the dance of existence."
