Excited atoms are replacing cupid's bow and arrow this February, where electricity is the primer, glass the canvas, and rare gases and phosphorous powders the magical mix lighting up the gallery walls. Andy's new show presents past obsessions, love, science and the power of electricity - it's not what you think you know about neon.
Neon tubes have an intrinsic beauty. Their splendour is cloaked in often grimy glass, inert and waiting for thousands of volts to bring forth ‘life’. Andy’s purpose as a neon artist is to bring the elements of commercial neon to the gallery - to extract techniques and colour continuations that have impact.
Andy's obsession with glass tubes filled with small amounts of highly purified, inert gases began about 15 years ago and he's made and designed neon in all shapes and sizes for people as far an wide as DJ's, shops, artists,
Enjoy the show.
