Written by Casey

Claude Leveque’s neon lights

Claude Lévêque is a contemperary French artist, born in France in 1953, He has been celebrated as a leading representative of his country’s art.

Since the 1980s, Lévêque has produced nostalgic artworks that employ photographs and light, rooted in his own personal memories. However, more recently he has shifted towards the creation of giant installations intended to stimulate the five senses through the use of sound, light, and mist. The “viewers” of his works can thus experience them with their whole bodies and not just their eyes.
