Michael WhelanLUMEN 4 (1997)
Acrylic on Canvas - 48” X 36”
Despite the numbering, this was the first painting in a series of gallery paintings. 1/3
“Lumen” is a word with multiple meanings (light, cavity, window) and all the paintings in this series deliberately make use of them. 2/3
n each one, there is a figure struggling to reach the light, seemingly trapped in a closed-in space by insurmountable obstacles. 3/3

Marcial L MaligasoYou said window or light, does that has to do something about a video game. Theres like all of these words for Muster. It really does goes towards some videogame that can't recall. Bit on the edge, towards some lofty, towards a rock.
