Art By Candlelight


I have a strange fascination with combining candles and other forms of light with works of art.  It staggers me that galleries always stick to the conventional method of curating art on white walls in stark light.  I once staged an underground exhibition in the dark lit only by candlelight, it was winter and a few weeks until Christmas, so we served people mulled wine and showed them around in small groups by candlelight. It made for an incredibly intimate and beautiful creative social experience, and the music that permeated the walls of the venue from the club next door only seemed to enhance the exotic surreality of the event.
