Frankie Boyle’s Intra-spectrum to feature at LiGHT 24


15th October 2024

(UK) – Intra-spectrum, Frankie Boyle’s latest creation will shine at LiGHT 24. The artwork, powered by Formalighting, invites all to embrace wisdom through light and colour.

The installation will take place at the Business Design Centre in London from 20 – 21 November 2024.

Combining scientific inquiry with creative expression, Boyle’s’s work is distinguished by her mastery of physics, colour theory, and the psychology of perception. Her installations explore the intricate interplay of light and emotion, creating immersive environments that prompt introspection and self-discovery.

Cultivating her heightened sensitivity to light and deep understanding of human behaviour, her latest upcoming installation, titled Intra-spectrum, has taken inspiration from her recent explorations of the narrative of consciousness and subconscious within her body of work through the harmony of reflection and refraction.

Boyle says: “I want people to immerse themselves within the light that we shine and the light that we hold within through an array of beautiful invigorating colours. This installation is all about eliciting introspection and connection.”

This relationship with colour is something that Boyle wanted to particularly focus on during Intra-spectrum. Colour theory is a fundamental concept in art, design, and psychology that helps explain how colours interact, how they can be harmonised, and how they affect human perception and emotions.

Boyle believes that as children we are attracted to colour as our eyes are more sensitive and stimulated by brighter colours, yet as we grow older, we start to eliminate colour from our lives because we associate it with immaturity and youth. Her work aims to reignite those rich emotional experiences that influenced how we felt, thought and behaved through play when we were younger”.

To create the kaleidoscope of various colours in this artwork, Boyle is using dichroic film; a material that exhibits different colours when viewed from different angles due to interference of light waves – creating a colour-shifting effect. This phenomenon occurs because the film selectively reflects and transmits certain wavelengths of light while others pass through, creating a multi-colour appearance depending on the observer’s position.

The concept of light has heavily influenced Boyle’s work as an artist. She has shared her experiences of growing up as a neurodivergent person, who used light as a communication tool from a very early age.

Boyle adds, “Light and human behaviour were definitely the first languages I understood. That is why I am so interested in the human response to my work, physically, psychologically and emotionally. Ultimately, light is a language that everyone speaks that taps into the subconscious, connecting us to a space.”

Visitors to LiGHT 24 will be able to view the exclusively created art installation ‘Intra-spectrum’ by Frankie Boyle, which is powered by Formalighting. The installation will be found in the space between the main exhibition and the conference hall, where it will aim to ignite and resurface memories and emotions as visitors move through this space.
