SANATTA NEON IŞIKLARI

Neon, discovered in the late 19th century, was developed by chemist and physicist Georges Claude as French neon tubes in the early 20th century. Neon lights, initially using as advertising or signage -which is also used today with this function– caught the attention of László Moholy-Nagy in the 1930s and the artist used neon lights in his photographs. Thus, with the abstract vibrations created by the light with color, neon lights enter the field of art by transferring them onto a two-dimensional surface. Next, a certain part or all of the space; it captures with text, color, or just form. Sometimes it accompanies to a painting, a photo, a sculpture, an object, or a general form of space. Or it creates the outlines of a sculpture and adds dimension to it. Sometimes the text, written in color and light, initiates the acquisition of speech and writing, bringing vision acquisition to another dimension.
