(1970) French artist

" I want the general public no longer perceives neon as a sign of advertising, a noisy kitchen lighting or white, straight, giving a pale complexion, but as a light source carried by a glass tube being shaped to perfection. This source of light, the recall, is called fluorescent tube and not neon. It is commercially produced, unlike the neon tube which is made by glass blowers making each tube one piece. Currently, the neon tube, through signs, is an integral part of life in our cities, it also participates in the busy streets day and night and is a key element of the urban landscape. But it can expand its function simply by matching shapes, colors and symbols of lighting considered playing with transparency and brightness, and the neon tube is no longer just an object but an integral part of advertising 'an aesthetic. It is also a light source sustainable and environmentally friendly. The consumption of 17 meters of tubing equal to 2 incandescent bulbs of 70 watts. With my observations and my experience, my artistic approach is to take possession of an area (town, country, home), redesigning a mood, accentuating or modifying the architecture, creating an animation, pointing through the light that emanates from the neon tube. This is akin to Land Art and design space. Today I have the skills to shape the tube will over endless lengths with a wide palette of colors and I wish to continue to speak on much larger areas than those already experienced.
