Prolific Chilean-born and NY-based artist Iván Navarro creates complex and visually stunning sculptures out of fluorescent light. Using the actual lighting fixtures as a basic building material, he creates radiant objects, which are at once functional, everyday objects.

Iván’s piece, The Fence is currently on display at the UNO St. Claude Gallery as part of Prospect.2 New Orleans, until January 29th. Nighttime will yield better results.
