Lumens

In Lumens, Maggi Hodge explores the relationship between light, color, and spatial perception through a vibrant abstract composition of luminous turquoise, golden yellow, warm orange, and earthy brown. Against a dark, richly textured background, bright geometric forms emerge as independent fields of color, creating a rhythmic arrangement that feels both structured and spontaneous. The contrast between radiant hues and subdued surroundings establishes a compelling visual dialogue between illumination and shadow.

Lumens explores how color can function as a source of visual light. Engaging the expressive language of geometric abstraction and Abstract Expressionism, Hodge combines irregular forms, gestural brushwork, and layered textures to create a dynamic interplay between structure and spontaneity. 

The luminous shapes evoke illuminated windows, floating fragments, or abstract signals suspended in space. Hodge transforms illumination into an expressive visual experience, inviting contemplation of how color, contrast, and perception shape our understanding of space. Lumens vibrant palette and rhythmic composition, offers a compelling meditation on brightness, energy, and the subtle rhythms of abstraction.
