The elusive nature of light has been fascinating artists for centuries. Artists have explored its properties to shape and interpret space in painting, architecture and sculpture, and more recently in light sculpture and projection.

Included in this collection are works by David Batchelor, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Helen Sear and Mariko Mori who can be seen working with projected and reflected light, neon light and found light boxes. Other featured artists include Ian McKeever and Aubrey Williams, who use bright paint and white canvas to create and investigate light through more traditional painterly means.
