Contemporary light artist Olivia Steele has earned an international reputation for her spirited public neon happenings in surreal environments. Pioneering a new breed of conscious art, her expansive career has seen her impart fragments of handwritten wisdom and wit all over the globe, from Berlin to Beirut, Miami to Mumbai, in the form of site-specific land art and indoor installations.
Her simplistic interpretable phrases inhabit spaces of contradictory, confrontational or conciliatory meaning, manifested in multiple forms of light. Always symbolic and sometimes irreverent, her statements suspend time and motion as they crystallize the unity between landscape, semiotics and spectacle that engenders countless avenues for contemplation and inspiration.
Olivia Steele (b.1985 USA) lives and works in Berlin, Mexico City and L.A.
