Original Neon Art

Neon Art is taking off in 2020 as a sought after design element! Whether it’s on the side of a boutique hotel, in a destination restaurant or a friend’s home, we’re like moths to a flame whenever we spot new neon artworks. A growing community of creators on Wescover are innovating in this retro style and material to voice their style in words and symbols. Kudos to all those glass-bending, gas-capturing artists out there! Check out some of our favorites…

Don’t let the playful shapes and organic lines fool you though, neon is one of the most difficult artworks to create and it can be very difficult to use. Neon is made from glass and noble gas. The artist has to carefully melt and bend a tube of glass to shape. There are communities of Neon craftspeople and artisans around the world. Since it takes so much skill, time, and expense, not every creator is up to the challenge of creating true neon though. Some creators have used different mediums to imitate the look of neon. LED is an easier and cheaper alternative because it uses electricity and plastic. We did include a few LED signs in here too so see if you can spot them. While the colors and bent shapes look similar, you can tell you’re looking at a true neon art piece if it’s glass and gas! In San Francisco for example, Meryl Pataky, Laura Stevenson, and Roxy Rose are known as the real-deal so turn to them if you’re looking to hire an authentic neon artist.
