Its more than a painting....

Taking inspiration from James Turrells light installations (Im feeling ambitious) I want to exhibit more than just a painting at my first public exhibition. My ambition is to create a calm contemplative environment in which to view my artwork. So... I plan to install a false wall in the cloakroom on which my painting will be hung and position some hidden fibre optic lighting which will illuminate a length of the original tiled wall to the left and behind the painting, (using Lee theatrical theatre gel - Ultimate Violet). This gel will also be placed in the fixed lighting on the ceiling to create a soft light., removing the harsh white light. All windows in the room (of which there are many!) will be blacked out to prevent any other conflicting light pollution. I plan to position 1 LED spotlight to illuminate the painting to add the impact Im striving for.
