Bruce Nauman

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Multi-faceted in his approach to art, Bruce Nauman is celebrated for his works across a wide range of media including performance, sculpture, and his trademark use of neon. Nauman’s work is celebrated for its humour and irony – some works employ these themes to an unsettling degree forcing the viewer to confront their own physicality, other works are just plain funny – neon works such as Run From Fear, Fun From Rear highlight the metaphorical and semantic possibilities that arise from a simple and subtle rearrangement of letters.

«What I am really concerned about is what art is supposed to be
- and can become.»
Bruce Nauman

Commenting on his expansive range of disciplines and mediums, Nauman recalled his profound realisation of ”If I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art.

« And I don't have any specific steps to take because I don't start the same way every time. But there is a knowing when it's enough and you can leave it alone.»
Bruce Nauman

At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product.” Many of Nauman’s works tackle the themes of human psychology with often disturbing effects – Changing Light Corridor with Rooms is one among many ‘claustrophobic’ works and consists of a long, enclosed corridor, flanked either side by two rooms that have been installed with flashing bulbs, timed to flicker at different rates.

What is Process Art?

Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
