Dan Flavin was an American minimalist artist famous for creating sculptural objects and installations from fluorescent light fixtures. Flavin’s fluorescent structures explore colour, light and sculptural space. Flavin focuses on how light and colour can transform an exhibition space. Although he slowly developed his work into site specific installations rather than a gallery space.
I am interested in how colour and light itself can create a sense of space and change a space into something new. I also enjoy how his work is purely about transforming a space, and no deeper meaning. I feel that this relates to the work I am creating, as it is based on how colour can create a sense of illusion and overpower-ment.
