Artist
Lili Lakich exhibits more than 75 of her fine art neon sculptures in her 5,000
square-foot art studio and gallery in the Arts District of downtown Los Angeles.
The shimmering, pulsing, luminous vibrancy of neon gives the works of artist
Lili Lakich a 21st century edge, despite the medium's primal appeal. Created
over a period of more than four decades, her neon sculptures have brought
expressiveness and a human dimension to this American art medium which is sometimes considered cold
and commercial. Often highly charged with emotion and monumental in size,
they are "like jewels salvaged from the modern world, transformed into
icons of glistening beauty."
Lakich Studio serves
as a design and production facility for ongoing neon art and signage projects
and commissions. Lakich Studio conducts workshops in neon design and fabrication
and provides a unique and dazzling ambience for parties and special events.
Lili Lakich has had numerous exhibitions on three
continents and was the founding director of the Museum of Neon Art (MONA).
Her signature image, Mona, pays homage to the Mona Lisa
by artist Leonardo da Vinci, the single most important and recognizable work
of art in the world.
