Neon Art in Pop Culture
Traditionally used to create eye-catching outdoor advertisements, by the 1940’s neon made its first appearance in fine art pieces created by Argentinian artist Gyula Košic. Two decades later, minimalist sculptures created by Dan Flavin earned him the reputation ""The Godfather of Neon"", Andy Warhol described it as ""one of the great modern things"", and many more contemporary artists started working with neon to create pieces that can now be seen in galleries and museums around the world.
Taking advantage of neon’s stunning colours and bright glow, Bruce Nauman used flashing lights to create double and triple messages in famous pieces such as “Eat War” and “Violin Violence Silence”. British artist Tracey Emin created a series of chic, deeply personal phrases styled into her own handwriting “I Can’t Believe How Much You Love Me”, “The Last Great Adventure Is You”, and simply “Wanting You”.
From its origins in advertising to its movement into fine art and popular culture, these days, you’ll see neon lights in interior design magazines and wedding blog posts. You can now get an affordable piece to add excitement to your own walls from Custom Neon®.
