# Light-Integrated Paintings Pelle Gives New Meaning to the Concept of Luminous Artwork By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-07-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luminous-artwork References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/06/30/pelle-incise-paintings-lighting/) & [pelledesigns](http://pelledesigns.com/) Luminous artwork that is characterized by its ability to light up a room is the best way to describe New York City-based design studio [Pelle's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poltrona-frau-2) latest project. The endeavor is dubbed 'Incise Paintings' and it hovers the line between artistic expression and interior design. The [luminous artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-of-light) are comprised of a framed and boldly colored canvas with an incision as the name subtly suggests. Through the cut, Pelle incorporates light bulbs that poke out and create a mesmerizing effect that mixes materials and shadows. The "[illusion of depth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-lighting-experience)" plays a central role in the perception of audience members. The color palette is kept to four solid colors. The entire Incise Paintings series draws inspiration from a 20th-century Argentine-Italian painter — Lucio Fontana.
