Aquagem Square Light
2024
Aquagem Square Light draws the eye into a luminous field of color built entirely from hundreds of individually cut and stacked acrylic rods, laminated together to create a surface that shifts and breathes depending on the viewer's angle and the quality of surrounding light. Eric Zammitt constructs each work through a meticulous process in which he sequences chromatic values across the acrylic layers, producing gradients and transitions that read almost like pixelated light dissolving at its edges. The result here is a canvas that feels simultaneously digital and deeply handmade, glowing from within even as it sits flush against a wall. Zammitt's practice occupies a compelling space between painting, sculpture, and optical phenomena, and this 2024 work reflects his continued refinement of a vocabulary rooted in color theory and material experimentation. The aqua and gem-toned palette gives the piece a cool radiance that intensifies in natural light, while the precise geometry of its near-square format, measuring 53.3 by 51.4 centimeters, keeps the composition formally taut. Available through Scott Richards Contemporary Art, Aquagem Square Light represents Zammitt at a confident and inventive moment in his career, making it a strong acquisition for collectors drawn to works that reward sustained looking and resist easy categorization. The piece is signed by the artist and offered unframed, allowing flexibility in presentation.
