There is no doubt that the work of Tracey Emin is unique and interesting, with our interest particularly being in the neon art that she has produced.

Tracey Emin is an English artist, born in Croydon in 1963. She is renowned for the autobiographical art that she produces, depicting events from her life, and expresses herself through needlework, sculpture, drawing, photography, painting, and of course neon.

There are a number of neon art pieces that Tracey Emin has completed. You only need to type ‘Tracey Emin neon’ into Google Images to take a look at the works she has produced.

One of Emin’s most recent neon installations, ‘For You’, is in Liverpool Cathedral. It is placed underneath a large stained glass window, is 20ft wide and reads, “I felt you and I knew you loved me”, in pink neon, styled in Tracey’s own handwriting.

In 2007, Emin donated her neon work ‘Keep Me Safe’ to charity auction. At over £60,000, it fetched the highest price ever for one of her pieces of neon.

A number of celebrities are the proud owners of Emin’s neon work. In 2007 she produced a neon installation entitled ‘George loves Kenny’, for George Michael and Kenny Goss, which was used as the main feature of their inaugral exhibition at their Dallas museum. Kate Moss has also been on the receiving end of one of Emin’s neon art works.

At Neon Creations we are regularly sent examples of Emin’s work and asked if we can recreate something similar. As this work is a specific design to an artist, we would never be able to copy it, but what we do encourage people to do is to send us their own personal ‘phrase’ in their own handwriting. From this we are then able to advise whether we can recreate this in neon.

So if you are a fan of Emin’s work, and would like to see your own ‘thoughts’ reproduced in neon, please contact us and we would love to discuss your ideas with you.
