Chasing Rainbows By Leo Villareal
Sandra Gering Gallery, New York, NY
They illuminate high-rise facades and Broadway sets, but did you know that Color Kinetics’ solid-state lighting systems also enable transcendent works of art? New York-based artist Leo Villareal is reknown for his hypnotic light sculptures, including the latest piece to take advantage of Color Kinetics’ technology: Chasing Rainbows.

Exhibited at the Sandra Gering Gallery in Spring 2004, Chasing Rainbows is comprised of 60 lengths of iColor® Accent 8’, stacked horizontally in groups of 20 and mounted on three walls.
