The work
The black and green patinated surface carries the work's narrative and offers a direct view into Gordillo's sculptural language, which developed over four decades alongside her three-dimensional neon light works. Each cast is patinated by hand at Fonderia Mariani in Pietrasanta, Italy, so no two examples are alike.
Materials and making
Cast bronze
Bronze holds detail that few materials can. Each bronze is cast from the same mould and hand-chased to retain the detail of the artist's original. Patina is applied individually, so tonal and surface variation should be expected across the edition.

01
Mould and wax
The artist's original is captured in a flexible mould, from which a hollow wax replica is taken and refined by hand until every surface matches the source.
02
Lost-wax casting
The wax is encased in a ceramic shell and fired; the wax runs out and molten bronze is poured into the void it leaves, taking on the exact form of the original.
03
Chasing and assembly
The rough cast is released from its shell, sprues removed, and seams chased away by hand so the metal reads as a single continuous surface.
04
Patina and finish
The finished bronze is coloured with heat and chemistry, then sealed with a hand-applied patina unique to each edition.

The artist
Gun Gordillo
Copenhagen, Denmark · Light Art, Neon Sculpture, Installation
Gun Gordillo was born in Lund, Sweden, and graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1975. For more than fifty years she has worked with light as both subject and material, establishing herself internationally as a pioneer of light art.
A 1974 trip to Egypt, where she encountered large glowing public script, proved a turning point in her engagement with illuminated form. Her practice spans neon sculpture, light installation, relief work and art-architecture integration, and in 2024–25 she held a major solo project at Copenhagen Contemporary.
