Electric Winter

Electric Winter: Dani Bonnet's first curated art show, presented with Pabst Blue Ribbon at Innerspace Gallery in winter 2019, a sold-out night with a line around the block, a DJ set from Jerry Paper, and a full lineup of LA neon and mixed-media artists. In winter 2019, Dani Bonnet curated Electric Winter, a neon and mixed-media art exhibition presented in partnership with Pabst Blue Ribbon at Innerspace Gallery in Los Angeles. It was Dani's first time curating a show from the ground up, and the response exceeded anything anyone expected: a line stretched around the block to get in.

A First Curation, A Breakout Night

A debut show is a risk. Untested lineup, unproven eye, no track record. Electric Winter answered that in one night with a line around the block, which says as much about relationships in the LA art community as it does about the work on the walls. It set the tone for everything Dani Bonnet has curated since, including OFF//ON at the Hollywood Palladium.

A Night of Neon, Mixed Media, and Music

Electric Winter brought together a genuinely strong roster of Los Angeles-based fine artists, presenting new work across neon and mixed media:

Fine Art: Gabi Abrão, Lena Daly, Everett Fitzpatrick, Lauren Griffin, Fatima Nieto, Alison Oksner, Michael Pham, Alicia Polachek, Dewey Saunders, and Tyson Stryg

A live DJ set from Jerry Paper, the Los Angeles musician known for his blend of electronic, synth-pop and lounge, turned the gallery into a party and kept the crowd well past the opening walkthrough.

Why This Project Matters

Electric Winter is where Dani Bonnet's curatorial career started. A packed debut backed by a national beer brand at a respected LA gallery does not happen by accident, and every show since, OFF//ON included, was built on it.

Bad Roman Lighting Design

A restaurant-wide commercial lighting commission for Bad Roman's Beverly Hills flagship, eight sculptural LED chandeliers, a signature illuminated centerpiece, and eight hand-blown helium neon sconces, delivered on an accelerated timeline other fabricators couldn't meet. Featured in Dezeen, Hospitality Design, and TrendHunter. Neon Flamingo was commissioned to design and fabricate the complete lighting program for Bad Roman's Beverly Hills flagship, a restaurant-wide build spanning sculptural chandeliers, a signature illuminated centerpiece, and hand-blown glass neon wall sconces, developed in close collaboration with GRT Architects, the Brooklyn-based studio behind the restaurant's interior design. The 3,570-square-foot space, occupying the former Palm Steakhouse site on North Canon Drive, has been widely covered as one of the most talked-about restaurant openings of the year, with the lighting singled out as central to the room's atmosphere.

The 818 Tucson Neon Sign Bookshelf Commission

Neon Flamingo designed and fabricated a sculptural bookshelf with a vintage roadside neon sign look for The 818, a 165-unit luxury student housing development near the University of Arizona, commissioned through Seattle-based art consultancy Parade Art.

Puma & Rose Speedcat Neon Sign

A freestanding 10-foot by 12-foot neon sign built in 2.5 weeks for Puma's Speedcat campaign with Blackpink's Rosé, engineered to withstand extreme desert winds, hand-aged to look sun-worn, and later installed again in Las Vegas for the F1 race weekend. Neon Flamingo designed, engineered, and fabricated a freestanding, roadside-style neon sign for Puma's Speedcat campaign, starring Blackpink's Rosé. The brief: a 10-foot-wide, 12-foot-tall freestanding sign, built to look like it had been standing in the California desert for decades, on a turnaround of roughly two and a half weeks. It became one of the largest and most technically demanding pieces Neon Flamingo has ever built, and one of the proudest.

Fine Artist Commissions

Neon Flamingo fabricates neon works for working fine artists, translating gallery and museum-bound concepts into precisely executed glass and light, for artists including Young Joon Kwak, noé olivas, Nathan Cheung, and Emanuel Hahn. Alongside commercial signage, film production pieces, and brand installations, Neon Flamingo fabricates neon artworks for working fine artists, translating a gallery or museum concept into precisely bent glass and controlled light. This is a distinct kind of collaboration, built around an artist's own vision rather than a business brief, and it's some of the most rewarding work the studio takes on.

Netflix Office Hologram Neon Instillation

A 10' x 12' hybrid neon and LED hologram installation built for Netflix's Sunset Boulevard office, blending hand-bent neon with five hologram "TVs" into a signature piece on the cafeteria-level guest tour route. Neon Flamingo and Ronthekiller were commissioned to design and fabricate a large-scale custom neon and LED hologram installation for Netflix's Sunset Boulevard office in Los Angeles, located on the 13th floor of the Icon Building. Positioned at the cafeteria level, a high-traffic area where employees across the building gather daily, the piece has become a signature stop on the company's internal guest tours.

Mercedes GLC Neon Sign Commission

Mercedes-Benz USA commissioned a full-scale neon light sculpture of their GLC model, a direct result of a prior museum piece the brand's team discovered, complete with filmed process content for the brand's national marketing. Mercedes-Benz USA commissioned Neon Flamingo to design, fabricate, and film the creation of a full-scale neon light sculpture of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, a project that grew directly out of earlier gallery work, and became one of the largest brand collaborations Neon Flamingo has taken on.
