C Dutch, born in 1957, is a Southern California Contemporary Artist. He makes sculptures and paintings. Some of his materials include array discs and polymers. He has spent his artistic life exploring and experimenting with light. His work has an effect where it seems like it is lit up inside, but in reality they collect available light and amplify it back into the environment.  In the lucite box he uses in his works, light is shaped, bent and sculpted as if a solid, then blended, merged and projected, creating an illusion of three dimensionality. The colors in each piece vary based on the viewer’s position as well as the changing light throughout the day and night. 

“Light in a work can express many emotions including strength, sensitivity, awe, wonder, calm and enlightenment,”–C. Dutch
