Keith Sonnier: Inside Light, 1968–1970

David Kordansky Gallery Los Angeles · Mid-City
Exhibition on view: Sep 18, 2026 - Oct 24, 2026

Keith Sonnier’s *Inside Light, 1968–1970* revisits the artist’s earliest experiments with neon and argon, a breakthrough period that shaped his six-decade career. Combining luminous gas with glass, aluminum, wiring, and other industrial materials, Sonnier transformed light into a sculptural medium. The works engage directly with surrounding architecture, exploring relationships between material, space, color, and perception.

Keith Sonnier

Keith Sonnier (1941–2020) was an American artist known for transforming neon, light, and industrial materials into sculpture and installation. Emerging in the 1960s, he challenged traditional ideas of sculpture through works incorporating glass, latex, fabric, video, and incandescent gases. Over six decades, Sonnier explored how light, material, architecture, and technology shape our experience of space.
