Into the Light by Ugo Rondinone represents the artist's sophisticated engagement with luminosity and transcendence through the rare serigraphy-on-plexiglas medium. Executed in a limited edition of fifteen with additional artist proofs, the work creates a luminous meditation on passage, transformation, and spiritual illumination. The transparent substrate amplifies the visual and metaphysical dimensions of the composition, establishing Rondinone's distinctive contribution to contemporary printmaking practices.

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I see art-making as a ritual, a meditation for myself.
- Ugo Rondinone
Acclaimed for his range of contemporary paintings and large-scale sculptures, Ugo Rondinone is a mixed-media artist whose works often incorporate bright, fluorescent colours and iconographic images; his most notable work is his Seven Magic Mountains land-art sculpture comprised of seven, fluorescently- painted totems of large, limestone boulders stacked to reach a maximum height of 32ft. Rondinone’s paintings often feature several brightly coloured, concentric rings that form a target shape – his Small Sun series of paintings succinctly exemplify this particular trademark and simultaneously evoke feelings of euphoria and reflection. In combining such psychedelic colours and various cliché phrases such as ‘Hell, Yes!’ throughout his work, Rondinone is exploring the world around him and his place and identity within it and has stated that “I see art-making as a ritual, a meditation for myself...The energy of art is that you can spend time with yourself.”
Also referred to as Earth Art, Earthworks, or Environmental Art, Land Art is a sculptural movement that involves creating artworks that integrate conceptual or physical elements of the earth or landscape into the finished piece. These works often interact directly with the environment, using natural materials and settings to explore themes related to nature, place, and time
