Dan Flavin, an iconic minimalist artist from America, gained fame for his unconventional approach to creating sculptures and installations using easily accessible fluorescent light fixtures.
Flavin was a visionary artist of the 20th century, renowned for his fusion of minimalism and Op art. He was best known for his unique technique of utilizing only fluorescent lights as his medium, obtained from commercial sources. These readymade lights consisted of four standard lengths and ten different colors, including four variations of white. Flavin’s focus was not only on the use of light as a material, but also on its ability to transform and interact with the surrounding space.
