We use the term 'acrylics' to describe a modern version of stained glass. These paintings on translucent materials are the perfect alternative to traditional stained glass in bringing vibrant colours into an environment. AW Studios recommends the use of acrylics in architecture and interiors. They can be applied as murals on white, tinted, reflective and luminous surfaces. They also work as excellent light-boxes. Finally, acrylics can be a component of three-dimensional installations and sculptures with a light source. For acrylics to truly reveal their effect, lighting is crucial.
