Spatial perception and the emotive power of light are harnessed within the ephemeral installations and geometric sculptures of Phillip K. Smith III. The LA-based artist represented by royale projects: contemporary art has an enviable retinue of installations already, from his ethereal Lucid Stead in Joshua Tree to Reflection Field, commissioned for the 2014 Coachella Music & Arts Festival. He brings both his signature “Lightworks”, immersive time-based light sculptures, and subtle Light & Shadow sculptures, utilizing painted fibreglass to mimic the innate chiarscuro of his electronic works, to the Basel fair.
