Gun Gordillo is a trailblazing figure in the Scandinavian art world, internationally recognized for her pioneering work with light and form. Born in Denmark and based between Copenhagen and Paris, she has consistently challenged traditional boundaries.

Working primarily with neon since the 1980s, Gordillo has become known for her ability to “draw in space”—using glowing lines of light to construct suspended compositions that evoke both fragility and force. Her work is often described as a balancing act: between architecture and emotion, electricity and silence, gesture and geometry. Over the decades, she has exhibited widely across Europe and the United States, with works held in significant collections and institutions.

Gordillo’s artistic language is deeply rooted in drawing—not as a tool, but as a mode of expression. Whether using pencil on paper or neon tubing in three dimensions, she constructs her forms with the same lyrical precision. She speaks of line as “a kind of breath”—a continuous movement that reflects internal rhythms as much as external ones. This approach lends her work an intuitive elegance, even when it appears austere.

For Edition Solenne, Gordillo created Bronzina—a limited-edition sculpture that distills many of the elements that define her artistic voice. Though intimate in scale, the work channels her fascination with curves and cadence. It doesn’t rely on electricity or light, but the same sensibility remains: a tension between movement and stillness, between material and line.
