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.

Gouache

Gouache is an opaque watercolor paint that allows artists to layer from light to dark. Unlike traditional transparent watercolors, gouache is used for creating solid, vibrant colors. It belongs to the water-media category and is made of pigment, a binding agent, and an inert material, specifically designed for opaque painting.

Situationism

Situationism is a psychological theory that gained prominence in 1968, following the publication of a monograph by Walter Mischel that sparked the Person-situation debate. This theory argues that behavior is primarily influenced by external situational factors rather than internal traits or motivations, challenging the ideas of trait theorists like Raymond B. Cattell and Hans Eysenck, who emphasized stable personality traits. It is important not to confuse this with the Situationist International movement, an artistic and political movement founded by Asger Jorn, which focused on the critique of modern consumer society and the influence of environments on human behavior.
