ARTIST INFO
Craig Kraft is a nationally recognized sculptor who has spent over 35 years exploring the expressive potential of neon light. Known for pioneering techniques that merge drawn neon lines with sculptural forms, his work ranges from holographic-style illuminated body casts installed worldwide to monumental outdoor sculptures made of rolled aluminum and neon.
Since 1983, Kraft has consistently used neon for its vibrant color, durability, and malleability—embracing its paradoxical nature as both physical and ephemeral. His light-based sculptures engage viewers through a dynamic play of perception, marking not only space but meaning. Kraft’s work embodies a futuristic energy while resonating deeply in the collective memory.
