Artists in conversation

Dan Flavin
American · b. 1933

Flavin pioneered the use of commercial fluorescent light tubes as a primary artistic medium, creating minimalist installations that explore color and light in ways directly comparable to Navarro's neon based lamp work. Both artists transform functional lighting objects into conceptual art through geometric arrangement and bold chromatic choices.

Bruce Nauman
American · b. 1941

Nauman extensively uses neon tubing to merge everyday functional references with conceptual and political meaning, closely paralleling Navarro's approach of embedding ideas within light based objects. His neon works share the same bold color contrasts and minimalist formal language visible in this piece.

Cerith Wyn Evans
Welsh · b. 1958

Wyn Evans creates elegant light installations using neon and fluorescent materials that blend functional object aesthetics with conceptual depth, much like Navarro's lamp table. His works similarly investigate the intersection of design, color, and illumination within a contemporary minimalist framework.
