The work
The black and green patinated bronze weaves an untold narrative and provides a compelling glimpse into Gordillo’s artistic realm.

Each sculpture boasts a unique patina, meticulously crafted at the renowned Fonderia Mariana in Piestrasanta, Italy.

Materials & making
Cast bronze
Bronze holds detail that few materials can. Cast from the artist's original, each edition carries the same surface, weight and gravity, a physical record of the hand that made it, hardened into an alloy that will outlast everyone who touches it.

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.
