Barry Underwood: Coloured Light

Extra

Ohio-based artist Barry Underwood alters natural environments to create otherworldly photographic works. His latest pieces use coloured light to reinterpret areas of woodland, casting a soft coloured glow onto the surrounding spaces.

Underwood’s work is an example of how colour and light can be used to change the perception of a space. The Stylus report Transformative Light shows further examples of this.

Underwood is represented by Johansson Projects.
