Piezo print on Hahnemühle museum etching paper // La Nona Nuvola by Berndnaut Smilde, created in 2016, is a limited edition digital print that captures the artist’s ephemeral and surreal aesthetic. The piece presents a grand, opulent room with baroque decor, its golden embellishments and ornate chandeliers reflecting the grandeur of the space. In stark contrast, a delicate, fluffy cloud hovers in the center, seemingly out of place yet mesmerizing in its fleeting presence. Smilde’s work plays with the idea of impermanence and the ethereal, merging natural phenomena with architectural settings. Printed on Hahnemühle museum etching paper, this artwork challenges perceptions of space and reality through its dreamlike atmosphere.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
