Southbank Centre - Love and Liquid Fire

The Love and Liquid Fire installation is an exhibition part of the Southbank Centre's Festival of Love. The works were created by Chris Bracey who is known for his neon sign works in God's Own Junkyard and neon lights in Soho, London. The installations are there from the 6 June to 31 August 2015.

Part of the exhibitions show early works and pictures of his life, which include ones from when he was a young man. There are conceptual and initial designs of works of his such as The Globe which was commissioned for the 2012 London Olympic Games as well as images of his neon signed featured in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Judge Dredd, Batman and the ultra camp Superman III. Another cabinet shows his works that his done for the fashion Company, Mulberry. 

The installations on shows neon signs in all shapes and forms exploring the different side of love such as "PRIDE", "Passion" as well as "Heartbreak Hotel". The letterings in bold and striking fonts and colours playing on the different forms that it takes forming an universal beauty and appeal to them. The neon stands are surrounded by remnants of photographs and objects giving the exhibition more of a personal touch to them.
