<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I recently had the most enjoyable visit to see Doug Solyan at Uptown Neon, 2629 W Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23220, for the first time since 1994. Doug is one of the two people, who back in 1988, introduced me to the wonderful world of neon and got me started on my life long career and obsession.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His beautiful neon shop on West Cary Street is an Aladdin's cave for any devotee of neon, with thousands of pieces of old and reclaimed neon sections hanging from the ceiling, numerous neon signs and a collection of neon clocks, the envy of any museum.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Doug got started back in the early 1980's and taught himself glass bending with the help of his friend and mentor, Mr Rudd at Talley Neon. He is now responsible for the vast majority of the neon signs scattered liberally across the diners, shops and restaurants of Richmond. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Doug's obsession with neon isn't confined to the work place and the front of his house, in the Fan District, is always decorated with a couple of pieces of seasonal neon, hung in the windows of the porch, for the delight of the local residents and passers by. While I was there for three weeks, it went from neon pumpkins to neon maple leaves to neon turkeys.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">D J Roberts, "<i>I'M IN LOVE WITH THE MODERN WORLD</i>",<i> </i>2014, neon on steel frame.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last week saw the installation of <a href="http://www.djroberts.org/">D J Roberts</a> latest neon piece, "I'M IN LOVE WITH THE MODERN WORLD" on show at the 99p Stores, 259 High Street, Walthamstow, London E17 7BH.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The letters are 305mm (12 inches) high and the whole piece is 8000mm (26 feet) long. 15mm diameter clear glass was used, filled with neon gas, using 80m/A electrodes and running from three 50m/A transformers. The glass has then been mounted onto three seperate 20mm steel box sections frames, each measuring 2700mm x 200mm. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Building for some a legendary Quarter</span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A recent commission from <a href="http://pernilla-ohrstedt.com/">Pernilla Ohrstedt</a> has produced these beautiful three dimensional argon filled neon stars, made to adorn the Christmas tree at the <a href="http://edition-hotels.marriott.com/london">London Edition Hotel</a>, Berners Street, W1T 3NP.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each star was made from a single 1500mm length of 8mm clear glass with 25m/A elecrodes and filled with an 75% argon 25% neon gas mixture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The original commission was to run each star on it's own individual electronic power supply but after some initial teething problems in the workshop with "jelly beaning", these were exchanged for three 10kv/25m/A iron core transformers, each running six stars.</span><br />

The initial breif was to produce a small, four metre long, three dimensional neon sculpture, made up of two, two metre sections of neon to hang in the entrance hall of The Old Fire Station, Oxford. After some early discussions the overall length of the piece was increased from four to fourteen metres and comprising of seven, two metre sections of 15mm White 6200K 1A glass.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The clouds were made using 12mm diameter pink 1505 glass, 30m/A right angled electrodes and filled with blue gas. The neon was then mounted onto an aluminium tray formed in the shape of a cloud. Three electronic 3000volt 20m/A inverters were used and housed within the tray allowing a single white mains flex to exit from the bottom.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Time guards by <a href="http://www.kielnhofer.at/">Manfred Kielnhofer</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The constant struggle with concepts of space, sculptures and installations as well as the engagement of mysticism and primal religions led the Austrian artist to create “timeguards“. The first timeguard was built in 2007 and is reminiscent of a withdrawn monk. Kielnhofer likes to present his sculptures at exciting locations. They appear and disappear. You can never anticipate where they will show up next time, reminding us that we are never unobserved. Every one of our actions is seen by the guards and evaluated. They were already in existence a long time before humans populated the earth.</span><br />
