Pascale Marthine Tayou

lover  2015

Neon
280 x 700 x 8mm
Edition of 14 plus 1 AP

£3,000 incl. VAT
Flight/travel case additional: £220

On the occasion of his exhibition at the Serpentine North Gallery, Pascale Marthine Tayou has created a new neon Limited Edition. The word ‘lover’ is inscribed in cursive script, combining an intimate and suggestive greeting with the cool light of neon, a medium more closely associated with advertising than personal expression.

Humour and warmth is never far from Tayou’s sculptural practice, which encompasses a wide variety of natural, handcrafted and mass-produced materials. His frequent use of neon translates the fluidity of a drawing or handwritten passage into an industrially-produced object, bringing with it multiple readings and associations.
