Through the conceptual exploration of light and painting theory, Udo Noger uses light - the sole source of energy with the ability to transform matter - as a physical material that transforms his two-dimensional paintings into objects with three-dimensional form.  By cutting into and layering his canvas, Noger creates spaces that hold light from the outside while returning light back into ambient space.
