Loves tog pursuits highlight artists on the rise. A newporter says yorkbased painter is an art is that investors love. Under theas remained radar, his collectors are prestigious and loyal and other painters love him. His work challenges perceptions of what a painting can look like. You can buy a painting or drawing, but at least one art dealer tells us that in 10 years krebbers paintings will sell for 1 million. Speaking of unique takes, a founder of a lite brite neon us how he creates his creations. There is an attraction to light and being human. I think on a deep psychological level that light is this way in which we experience the energy in a very personal manner. Britehe founder of lite neon studio, and we manufacture produce and restore neon works of art and design. A lot of the origin of work comes a variety of sources. Sometimes people come with a napkin sketch or a file, then we Work Together to create an layout what it might look like. , andeate a paper template that paper template becomes our guide for what we are going to bend the neon to. We take from the office into the glass shop. We picked out the right side tubing with the right color. There we heat of the glass tubing. The torches heat the glass in excess of 1000 degrees. Bend the glass tubing to match the template. One of our chandeliers has over ends, and each one has to be heated up and we have two allow the glass to cool so the next area can be worked on. It turns into spaghetti, then we have to make sure that spaghetti lines back and cools to the template. We connect our mounts to the tubes and we can control the pressure with our mounts. Just a variety of challenges that come up inherently and working with glass. Glass can crack due to stress, and sometimes you will have a patch that all it wants to do when he gets near a torch is crack. After we bend various components, we have to go in using the hand torch and weld all those pieces together. Is to weld on electrodes to either in. Each one of the steps is very, very specific. I draw inspiration from so many different experiences. It is hard to come up with one but one ofrticular, the ways i am able to connect with the creative is tois a similar experience meditation. Going into a blackened room and laying out in a body of water that is heated to your body temperature. It allows external stimulation to fall away. World begins to bubble up and manifest.

It is that close to me. Once the neon tube is completed, we have to to hook it up to our manifold for some barding. The manifold is opened, the vacuum is drawn. Wed check the tubes for leaks with our tesla coils. Back off andtube heat it out using a large and powerful transformer. Isthe tube is heated up, it releasing anything not inert and that out. E we sealed the tube off, filling in whatever gas we introduced to it. I think my favorite part of making a neon light is when you see it lit up for the first time. Different gases when electrified emit different wavelengths of argon gas ands is creates an intense blue, but that light produced can be exposed to a different wavelength by coding the inside of the tubes with a coating. It takes that wavelength of light and emits a different wavelength. We bring it over to the table where we hook it up to a transformer and allow it to settle and age the gas we have introduced to it. There is always a stray particle or something left inside the tube, that time the oxide coating can act to scrub whatever is left inside the tube while things are getting settled. , once the tubes are aged in we move on to our process of assembly and put the sculpture together in a jig, hooking it up to a spindle. We connect the wires together into a transformer and turn on power and it lights up. Part of what we love about what we do here is that we try to put out into the world the kinds of things that we would like to see. I am still surprised and excited when i get to see it illuminated.
