Ep.46 | Neon artist Chankalun on the neon society's secret code, circular art, and her upcoming work for Art Basel 2023.

In this episode 'The Last Supper - Art in Asia' I travel to Fo Tan in Hong Kong where I met Chankalun in her studio. We began our dialogue with a short quiz in which I attempted to see the difference between neon and LED. We continued the conversation covering a wide range of topics from how she learnt the craft of neon, Chankalun’s upcoming Art Basel work, and the history of the pawn shop neon sign. We also discussed the difference between American and Japanese Neon techniques and Chankalun talked about 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.
