Artist Number Two

___ Dan Flavin

Flavin is an abstract minimalist artist working with a very industrialized medium. Flavin uses fluorescent lights to achieve his intended affects. Where most artists are using pigments and shades to express the drama light creates in the world, Flavin uses light. The drama created by light is emphasized by his configuration and composition. he makes little attempt to hide or refine the industrial look of each lamp or connection. Flavin's art is appealing because of the drama and unique use of material throughout. He has architectural ties with his material and relates that to art with his

compositions.http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/flavininfo.shtm
