Art With A Neon Edge
Can't get enough of all things neon? Andrew Martin has taken the trend to the next level with his latest artwork collection, overlaying iconic photography and graffiti prints with modernlight up signage.
The newNeon Art Collection has an earthy street vibe, with deliberately distressed and graffitied images acting as an industrial style backdrop that makes the light-up signs pop.
What inspired this collection of neon artworks? “A room isn’t complete without art. The current trend for neon lighting highlights the rise of maximalism as a luxury lighting trend,” explains Andrew Martin's founder Martin Waller.
Iconic photographs of Kate Moss,Che Guevara and Muhammad Ali sit alongside Mickey Mouse, The Monopoly Man, a Star Wars' Stormtrooper and aBanksy-inspired graphic.
