"The Fountain isn't your grandmother's classical water feature with cherubs and symmetrical tiers. Instead, imagine a stack of bright green sculptural plates that seem to defy gravity and good manners. They're asymmetrical, angular, and unapologetically bold. It's like someone took the idea of what a fountain should be, tossed it in the air, and let it land however it wanted."
"What makes this installation particularly clever is how it plays with our expectations. We're so conditioned to see fountains as these elegant, balanced structures centered in plazas and parks. But Neon flipped that script entirely. The green isn't a subtle sage or muted mint. It's vibrant, almost electric, demanding attention in the best possible way. It's the color of highlighters and neon signs, which feels perfectly appropriate for a studio literally named Neon."
Neon designed a bold fountain for Brent Cross Town in London composed of stacked bright green sculptural plates. The plates are asymmetrical, angular and appear frozen mid-motion, suggesting tumbling movement while remaining static. The saturated neon-green color is vivid and highlighter-like, intentionally demanding visual attention and echoing the studio's name. The fountain contrasts traditional elegant, balanced fountains by embracing playfulness and unapologetic presence. The installation functions as a focal gathering and meeting point within a transforming mixed-use neighborhood, contributing character and identity to a redeveloping urban space.
