Transforming neon lighting into art

Neon lights were widely used in advertising signs in the 1980s. However, since the invention of LED lights, the radiance of neon lights has gradually waned. LED lights are bright, low cost, and save electricity; the lifespan of neon lights is affected by dust and moisture, and they are time-consuming to produce. Despite all this, LED lights are still unable to replace the warm glow of neon lights.

Though there has been a gradual decline in the neon light industry, Huang Shun-le refuses to give up easily. Using his skillful hands to integrate life and art, Huang produces interactive neon lighting displays that take on all manner of weird and wonderful shapes. With his work sought after by exhibition halls at home and abroad, Huang has managed to transform traditional neon lighting into modern art.

霓虹師傅結合工藝轉型藝術

  霓虹燈，在八o年代曾被廣泛運用在廣告招牌，但隨著LED燈被發明，霓虹燈的光芒也愈漸暗淡， LED燈省電、亮度高且成本低，取代容易被水氣、灰塵影響壽命，且製作耗時的霓虹燈，然而手作霓虹燈的溫度，卻是LED燈無可代替的。。

  雖然霓虹產業逐漸沒落，但黃順樂沒有輕易放棄，玻璃燈管在他的巧手下，變化多到超乎想像，融入生活和藝術，製作出具有互動性的霓虹燈，作品被國內外展館典藏，轉型傳統霓虹登上藝術殿堂。
