Abstract Expressionist Al Held is one of the most ambitious painters of the 20th century. Through five decades of experimentation, he continuously pushed the boundaries of abstract art. This short film explores Held's artistic journey, culminating in the awe-inspiring 'Luminous Constructs' - paintings so vast, they invite you inside.

To effectively convey the immense scale of the paintings within a seemingly infinite white space and to visually embody the artist's concept of infinity and multidimensionality, our team employed a telephoto zoom lens and dolly to create dynamic movement. This immersive approach is intended to draw the viewer into the artwork.

‘Al Held: About Space’ was exhibited at White Cube in Bermondsey 27 June - 1 September 2024. You can find out more about the exhibition here.
