Ep.46 | For this episode of The Last Supper I sat down with neon artist Chankalun in Fo Tan, Hong Kong. We began our dialogue with a short quiz in which I attempted to see the difference between neon and LED. We continued the conversation how she learnt the craft of neon and her upcoming Art Basel work, the difference between American and Japanese Neon techniques, and her project ‘The Neon Girl’.
The only female and experimental neon artist in Hong Kong, TEDxSpeaker, SCMP Women Of Our Time 2022. As a female neon artist within the male-dominant industry in Hong Kong, Chankalun investigates and incorporates new technology in her designs and neon art.
She is also currently learning neon-making skills from 6 different neon light masters and artists around the world through “The Neon Girl” project.
Targeted to increase awareness and enrich female empowerment in the male-dominant neon industry, her neon art explores new media and technology that gives new meanings to neon lights. Her mission is to keep the neon legacy alive and kicking through her experiments.
