Liz West unveils Fluorescence
(UK) – British artist Liz West has unveiled a new, temporary outdoor festive artwork at Kings Cross, London. Drawing inspiration from light and joy that define the festive season, West interprets festive themes of light and joy through a contemporary 10.7-metre structure that will act as a seasonal focal point in Granary Square until Feburary 2025.
Titled ‘Fluorescence’, the structure is centred around an elongated tetrahedron, adorned with bold stripes of fluorescent neon colours, contrasted with monochromatic tones to symbolise celebration and festive spirit.
Diagonal colours intersect across the structure, encouraging people to move around the space to explore how the colours connect and change from different angles. For the first time, West has introduced black to sit alongside her signature chromatic palette. As night falls, UV lighting will make the installation glow, turning it into a centrepiece that can been see across Granary Square.
