LEDMansion - ADRENALINE RUSH V.1 & THE LAST LAP V.1 | LED Wall art - LEDMansion (1995) - Lighted sign (2) - PVC

Subject and Theme:
"ADRENALINE RUSH V.1 & THE LAST LAP V.1" is a diptych dedicated to speed, told in its two faces: the true one, made of wet asphalt and adrenaline, and the one we all experienced as children with a joystick in hand.

In "ADRENALINE RUSH V.1" a pilot in a suit and full-face helmet stands upright in front of his single-seater, legs apart, arms resting along the hips. Around him the darkness explodes into shards and blue vapor, as if the very air were splitting. A blue neon traces his silhouette, turning him into a figure suspended between man and icon.

In "THE LAST LAP V.1" the register changes completely: a character with a hat and mustache, born from video games and become familiar to three generations, faces the final lap on a red go-kart, with the audience in the stands and clouds painted with a spatula in the sky. A red neon envelops driver and kart in one outline, like a trackside sign.

Technique and Creation:
Both works combine artistic print on a rigid support with hand-applied LED neon, tracing the entire silhouette of the subject: blue in the first, red in the second.
The two languages are deliberately opposite. The first is cinematic and saturated with black, built on grazing light, reflections on water and suspended particles. The second is painterly and sunny, made of thick impasto and color laid on with a spatula, almost an Impressionist landscape in which a race track happened to be inserted.
Hanging side by side, blue and red face off on the wall like two rival cars: a perfect contrast for a game room, a studio, a bedroom or a motors-themed venue.

Inspiration and Curiosity:
What makes a driver superhuman isn’t so much the acceleration as the braking: a Formula 1 car decelerates up to about 5 G, which means that in the braking phase the head and helmet weigh on the neck several times their real weight, and at 300 km/h the driver can stop in a few tens of meters. It is one of the reasons why neck training is a serious part of preparation.
The second work, instead, recalls that almost all champions passed through there: the go-kart is the true school of motorsport, and its history is more recent than one might think. The first go-kart was built in 1956 in California by Art Ingels, a race car coachbuilder, mounting a lawnmower engine on a tubular frame. From that artisanal toy there arose the training ground for entire generations of drivers.
A diptych designed for those who have motorsport in their blood and for those who, even before getting on a real go-kart, won their first grand prix in front of a screen.
