The Interplay of Light and Abstract Art: A New Perspective on Viewer Engagement

Abstract

This comprehensive study explores the transformative impact of light on abstract art, focusing on how variations in light alter viewer perception and emotional response. By examining the interaction between vibrant acrylic paints and high-gloss resin finishes, this paper reveals how material properties can significantly enhance the depth and emotive power of artworks. Through quantitative and qualitative analyses, including viewer feedback and psychophysical data, this research provides a deeper understanding of the symbiotic relationship between light, material, and viewer engagement in the context of modern abstract art.
