Art of London, the award-winning cultural initiative, returns with Art After Dark, a free late-night arts program showcasing a spectacular neon public art installation by acclaimed artist Chila Kumari Singh Burman MBE, alongside over 16 West End galleries that will stay open late.
Chila Burman has unveiled 14 glowing artworks, including eight new commissions specially for Leicester Square Gardens towering nearly ten feet high. Titled ‘There Is No Darkness in the Garden of Light’, the public artworks were on display in the capital’s entertainment district. Field and Lawn were asked to provide expert guidance for the installation of the stunning illuminated features. They created a beautiful attraction in the heart of London and helped to boost seasonal footfall in the colder autumn and winter months.
Debuting ahead of Diwali, Burman’s installation included a hypnotic trail of fluorescent artworks exhibited around Leicester Square including neon’s embellishing the front of London Trocadero, The Hippodrome Casino, Westminster Reference Library and The Londoner hotel.
The head-turning art paid homage to iconic local landmarks, such as the water fountains of Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square Gardens, while also connecting with William Shakespeare whose statue stands as a centrepiece in the gardens.
