Keith Sonnier
Bridgehampton, NY
“Keith Sonnier is an American Postminimalist, performance, video and light artist and one of the first artists to use light in sculpture in the 1960s.
Keith Sonnier constructs his distinctive abstract and semi-figurative light installations out of neon tubing. Often labeled a Minimalist, Sonnier places bright colors and sparse lines together in ways that heighten the lights’ reflective qualities in a given space. Inspired by both his birthplace of Louisiana and the cultures and geographies he encounters in his travels, Sonnier’s sculptures combine hi-tech industrial materials with organic or corporeal themes. For his “Herd” series (2009), Sonnier used lights and curved steel supports to create free-standing animal sculptures resembling the wildlife found in Africa.
American, b. 1941, Mamou, Louisiana, based in New York, New York”
