Abstract

Abstract

Colour Rush by Lothar Götz for VitrA, London

Colour Rush is a site-specific artwork commissioned by VitrA Bathrooms for their London showroom. A reflection on the act of seeing itself, the artwork is experienced from inside and outside, subtly shifting perceptions of space, colour and objects as the light changes over time.

Influenced by spatial experiences tempered by coloured light including Moroccan bathrooms, King Ludwig II’s Oriental eyrie at Scholsß Schachen in Bavaria and Baroque ecclesiastical architecture, the artwork incorporates themes of colour, geometry, perspective and thresholds. Externally it responds to the architecture of the Turnmill building. Internally it interacts with VitrA’s displays, colouring bathroom products and tiles as well as the spatial experience so we see everything in a new light.

“The shapes in Colour Rush are about connecting what’s already there; the geometries created by our own eyes when we look at buildings and spaces. Like a three-dimensional painting, the artwork creates abstract space,” says Götz.
