Kaleidoscope of Light: 2014: Artisan of Light

By Robert B Calkins

This book contains 89 full color abstract art works of a unique award winning form. Each page has a kaleidoscope form of an abstract art work. Robert's art begins with sun light. Sun light is the source of energy that powers all life on earth. It represents the vitality and exuberance of life itself. His art attempts to capture that exuberance and its variety. Using an array of equilateral glass prisms, he creates the rich color that characterizes his work. By adjusting the individual prisms in the array, he mixes additional color combinations beyond the normal rainbow of a single prism. Then, he use lens, filters, reflections, foam board, glue, paint, overhead transparencies and other objects to create various light affects and takes digital photographs of the results. Finally, he uses a computer to manipulate the images (such as crop, cut, paste, etc.) to create the final art piece. He classifies his art as mostly non-representational abstract mixed media. He developed his process and tools over a number of years of experimentation.
