Romanian-born artist Adela Andea creates futuristic light installations that range from wall-based works to immersive environments. The pieces appear as lit explosions, with LED lights, magnifying lenses, and flex neon springing outwards in a blend of chaos and control.

Andea is currently represented by Anya Tish Gallery in Houston and Cris Worley Fine Arts in Dallas. More

By creating aesthetically pleasing landscapes from a disheartening medium, it’s Duran’s hope to create a harsh juxtaposition that draws attention to the global catastrophe of ocean pollution. More
