Akarui Funaki – LED LIGHT ART is a unique light art installation that presents a sensational form of visual art. “Akarui Funaki” means “Light atmosphere,” in Japanese. This work is the first in the ‘Light Art’ collection, painting with Light and paint. It is a high-quality LED artwork that invokes some traditional Japanese Buddhist ideas about beauty. Akarui Funaki – LED LIGHT ART is about producing a minimal yet fascinating exploration of microcosmic life forms in all their beauty. This particular painting is concerned with the evolution of life. The Japanese word Wabi-sabi (侘寂) is about beauty amid transience and imperfection, it is a very Zen idea, and it is the motivation for each painting in the ‘Light Art’ collection.

Akarui Funaki – LED LIGHT ART is created on a 122 cm x 122 cm sheet of Plexiglass, which is mounted on another translucent sheet of Plexiglass, and together they are mounted onto a strong LED panel. Sometimes, the unit has another transparent sheet of Plexiglass on top to protect the painting. Then the sheets and panel are placed on a board for strength and framed in a solid wooden frame. It is not a floating frame; the Light would leak from the sides. The painting has strong mounting attachments at the back of the painting. The whole painting is around 16-18 kg and needs professional mounting. The entire painting is quite elaborate and took a considerable time to create, hence the cost. The artwork and the frame are 125 cm x 125 cm x 7 cm.
Akarui Funaki – LED LIGHT ART was created in April 2022. A Certificate of Authenticity with hologram – verification is provided, and a copy of the hologram is placed on the rear of the painting. The work is registered in an international database of artworks. And so the artwork is collectable, and provenance is established.
DELIVERY & WARRANTY:
In order to provide a full warranty from the LED panel manufacturer, there is a 3-4 weeks lead time. When you order this LED painting, a new panel is requested, and they usually take 3 weeks for the delivery as they are made in Australia and shipped to my framers in a crate. My framer then creates a custom frame for the work – please let me know what colour frame you would like. These panels are the highest quality LumiSheet™ and come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and are the best quality LED panels available. See details: http://www.platformcreative.com.au/services/lumisheet/
Please get in touch with me if you are not concerned about the warranty and would like the work quicker.
INSTALLATION:
These panels have a power supply and can be plugged directly into the wall and turned on to function immediately. However, for the best results, the panel, as it is 20 kg, should be mounted by a trades person, builder or electrician, and the power supply can then be inserted into the wall hiding the cords, etc. This is a reasonably easy job. Also, solid mounting is required to support a 20 kg installation.
We can assist in finding the trades person to install this for you. Their cost is not included.
