classic impressionism
“Everything reinforces the idea of water and other organic forms like lilies. The lighting glimmers like a firefly and looks like water drops.”
– Sally Wilson
Although impressionism seems very traditional today, at its time it was avant-garde.
The Classic Movement saw painters experimenting with brush strokes to achieve new expressions of “realism.” Sally and John also experimented when creating their glass tile installation. “The mosaic was designed on a computer and assembled robotically,” John explains while detailing their desire to infuse a traditional space with contemporary technique.
