About the artist
For more than 50 years, Gun Gordillo (b. 1945) has worked with neon lights, often in combination with lead, stone and metal, and frequently with the addition of acrylic sheets or mirrors as a means of creating spatial effects. Her works thus give rise to a dialogue between gravity and lightness. Gordillo’s work has been shown at several major solo exhibitions. Since the 1980s, she has worked with legendary gallerist Denise René, and has participated in many group exhibitions including ‘The spirit of white’ at Galerie Beyeler, Basel in 2004 and ‘Néon, who’s afraid of red, yellow and blue?’ at La Maison Rouge, Paris in 2012. She has also been invited to create several major installations at world famous companies and public sites in cities such as Basel, Paris, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
Gordillo lives and works in Copenhagen after having spent many years living and working in Paris.
