“Great art deserves great lighting”

this fundamental belief has been shared by the nearly 400 museums and galleries

around the world who have selected Edison Price Lighting. their renowned col-

lections are not simply illuminated by our lighting fixtures – they are enhanced. By

revealing color, texture, and form, our luminaires have set the stage upon which

art is experienced since 1952.

But I believe all art deserves great lighting – for lighting can elevate art to great-

ness. Even the “blackboard painting” of a second-grader becomes magical when

lighted as if in a museum. I have such a piece at home, and I treasure it.

The quality of the Edison Price Lighting Gallery’s exhibition and lighting matches

that of our museum clients. the only difference is that here, we encourage you to

also consider the fixtures. Perhaps you’ll agree – great lighting is great art.

“Great art deserves great lighting” “Light Inspired” is a collection of artwork created and cu-

rated by artists working in the field of lighting design. Though

their professions range from lighting designers to manufactur-

ers, and their mediums vary from light installations to paint-

ings, all of the “Light Inspired” pieces engages with light. To-

gether, the exhibition is a reminder of light’s power, ubiquity,

and playfulness.

Chapter 2 is a group show featuring the work of High school

to Art School program alumni. HS2AS is a scholarship-based

portfolio development program for high school students

run out of Queens Council on the Arts, located in Astoria.

In HS2AS, students acquire the knowledge and skills that al-

lows them to work successfully with a variety of media and

subjects, and create an impressive and technically skilled

portfolio. Having served high school students of all back-

grounds in the greater NYC area for over a decade, HS2AS

has helped hundreds of students reach their goal of being

accepted into the best art programs and colleges through-

out the country.

Carlos inclán has always been interested in optics and color,

and draws inspiration from artists like alejandro siña and peter

Sedgley. Carlos’ combination of dichroic materials with precise

beam control isolates phenomena like reflection, refraction,

caustic curves; and the smooth cross fading of light sources

relates to sunset or the aurora borealis, which bring stimulation

and psychological uplift. The installation can be didactic or also

just enjoyed for its color strength. Lacking true pigment, his work

behaves like oil slicks or soap bubbles, through interference of

wavelengths. Carlos grew up in México City, where he studied

architecture at UNAM. He also holds an MS in Lighting from Rens-

selaer’s LRC. Upon migrating to the US, Carlos has worked since

1990 for various renowned lighting design studios.

edison priCeCurated from edison price Lighting’s historical collection, these

drawings are works of art themselves. Each line, degree, and

angle is the result of meticulous consideration, and reveals the

human-side of product design. This handiwork reminds viewers

that an everyday product, like a lighting fixture, is a bridge linking

two people: the product designer and user.

“G cell” is the paint tray upon which Jay, simon, damon, and

Chris work. Using hand-held spray applicators, they apply one

coat of primer and two coats of paint to every fixture part. This

process imprints a temporary, evolving combination of shapes

on the paint tray. Each layer represents a part built just feet

away, to be shipped around the world. “G Cell” examines the

artistic, human side of the manufacturing workflow.

john proCarioWhile growing up in the suburbs of new York, John enjoyed spend-

ing time in the woods and making objects from what found there.

Because of his surroundings, wood naturally became his medium of

choice. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Purchase College,

sunY, John took his love for sculpture and brought it into the world

of design. John’s current work is based on the idea that wood is a

metaphor for the body. Like bone or muscle, wood will flex comfort-

ably up to a point, but under too much stress, it will break.

jonathan BATISTA II attended HS2AS during my senior year

from 2011 to 2012. While studying in col-

lege, i also teach art and self-help to chil-

dren in several public schools, and work

in an art supply store. My work consists

of created personas, based on hybrids of

pests and the diverse population of new

York City. Each character is represented in

an action, based on the context of their

personalities. The experience originates

from the perceived viewpoint of the up-

per class towards the lower class.

alex BeaCH my printmaking deals with the dishar-

mony and dissociation experienced by

a computer-age humanity, constantly on

the verge of the next perception-shatter-

ing advancement. The prints are wide-

angle. Their flat and objective medium

gives the viewer a presentation of facts,

as opposed to a charged scene. This is a

nod to digital objectivity, as it is sculpted

to reflect organic subjectivity.

along with school i also work as a cam-

pus ambassador at 3d hubs, carpenter at

Jonathan Arnold Inc., and a technician

at a 3D printing lab and laser lab. Groot

was created through a 3d modeling soft-

ware called solidworks and then carved

by hand with a chain saw. I always tried

my hardest in HS2AS. I was never able to

stand out in class. I was never the best at

painting or drawing but because i learned

something as simple as blind contour line

drawings, i was able to shine and be on

the top of my class in freshman year.

alumni of the hs2as program have attended schools such as the

Cooper union, rhode Island school of Design, Pratt Institute, among

many more. following graduation, hs2as alumni often a variety of

This exhibition showcases the impressive talent of our students, as

well as the diversity of their interests.

naomi CHo“Naomi Cho was in the HS2AS program

starting in 2011 and continued into fall

2012. HS2AS provided Noami the train-

ing, concepts, and network of other art-

ists to help her push her work forward.

Currently a senior at St. John’s University,

she is expecting to graduate this com-

ing May 2016 with a BFA in Fine Arts and

an Art History minor. Her current work re-

volves around the themes of identity and

home as both a physical and emotional

hyun Hee CLara “i am often gravitated towards two op-

posite extremed – rigid and soft, rough

and smooth, etc. When these two differ-

ent elements are expressed in harmony, i

am most thrilled. In these works, I tried to

capture grace within monumental com-

ponents. My inspiration came from my ex-

perience in hiking back in Korea, how the

trails were reshaped steps of previous hik-

ers. The weighing between permanence

and change was something that sparked

my interest. Hyun Hee participated in

HS2AS two times in summer of 2012 and

falls of 2013. Studying in HS2AS helped her

to understand a broad spectrum of art

beyond its visual representation: what it

means to ‘create’ and ‘express.’


heidy Cordero I attended HS2AS when I was a senior at

Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School. I like

to work with oil paint because it gives

me more freedom to add a loose feel-

ing. I have been drawings nude models

in short amount of time so it has helped

me develop my style even further. I work

in layers which is why i have two different

colors in my chalk drawing, multiple pen-

cil marks, and textured paintings.

alex Liin my opinion, art really shouldn’t have rules,

but obstacles. What’s the point of achieving

something that has already been done a nu-

merous amount times? illustration allows us to

incorporate our take on messages through

our own eyes for people to see, understand

and maybe even question. Through my

art work, i make it a priority to explore new

materials and options that can help attain

my ideal image. With that being said, I am

surely not afraid to take great risks and take

on challenges that i know will be dreadful but

absolutely jaw dropping.


melissa LinGBorn in 1988, attended HS2AS in 2004, B.F.A.

from pratt institute, lives and works in Brooklyn,

NY. I remember the summer I attended HS2AS

as a critical moment where i began working

towards a college portfolio more fervently. In

addition to being in a constructive class envi-

ronment, i also enjoyed the hours i spent draw-

ing from life. I only dream in black and white

in repeating scenarios so it feels lucid rather

than participatory. Because of this detach-

ment, it becomes therapeutic to work only

by observing the same strokes and patterns.

in these drawings, it is easy to overlook things

that fit the basic perception but by seeing it

through a different refraction, it becomes sim-

pler to reflect on what is actually there.

lived for a period of time in Rio de Janeiro. I

always had an interest in drawing and story

telling, but didn’t have a chance to fully

engage in formal training until high school

where i attended LaGuardia arts and after

school programs like HS2AS. As an activist for

racial justice and education reform, i wish

to make art that addresses social issues by

providing solutions through visual content

that is easily accessible through the media.

although i currently work with animation and

video mediums, i still enjoy creating with my

hands more than anything, and i try to incor-

porate traditional and more tactile elements

to my work.

sooa Kimsooa works primarily in the mediums of

sound, performance and video installation.

Her work examines socially constructed ideas

within the sphere of performing arts, creating

cross-disciplinary work between fine arts and

classical music. She attended HS2AS from

2008 – 2010. This work serves as a visual inter-

pretation of a musical composition that per-

former creates from his body movement. It

allows the performer to be hyperaware of his

presence within music along with recognition

of subtle distinction of sounds and gestures

that individual creates in every performance,

which the audience tend to accept it as ho-

mogenous form.


enas HassanWhy i explore art:

it is easy to interact with others, it is an invol-

untary action; by being alive, one interacts.

often times the blur between what is going

on inside and around me, gets muddled.

I tend to find myself in my own egocentric

world. I get tangled up in never ending

thought loops. I find myself thinking about

what came first: the chicken or the egg, the

people or the media, the person or the ego. I

am aware there is a lot i don’t know, particu-

larly about the human experience. I often

realize how little I am compared to the uni-

verse. The human experience can only exist

through human connection.

kunning HuanGmy work explores the relationship between

consumerist fetishism and recycling culture.

With influences as diverse as Machiavelli

and Jeff Koons, new combinations are syn-

thesized from both traditional and mod-

ern narratives. Ever since I was a teenager

i have been fascinated by the ephemeral

nature of meaning. What starts out as vision

soon becomes debased into a cacophony

of temptation, leaving only a sense of nihil-

ism and the chance of a new beginning. As

shimmering phenomena become reconfig-

ured through studious and personal prac-

tice, the viewer is left with an insight into the

possibilities of our condition.

naomi LisiKi“I was born in Guadeloupe, a French ‘’dé-

partement d’outre-mer’’ in the Caribbean. I

really enjoyed dreaming at a very young

age and i would stare at the dust sparkling

on the street corners, in Baie-mahault, a small

city in Guadeloupe. I spent my days dream-

ing of different dimensions and worlds. It was

these moments that influenced both me

and the art that I produce today. I like to

ask myself: ‘’How can one evolve into adult-

hood and preserve the heart of a child?’’ i

like to deal with de-genderd, pubescent and

asexual bodies, interacting and forming new

interesting and organic forms. I am interested

in the playfulness of physical interactions in

relation to its emotional aspect. “

janine WanG“I was born and raised in NYC. I attended

Hunter College High school on the upper

east side, and joined High school to art

School in my senior year (F’14). I am currently

in my thesis year at Cooper Union. I study ar-

chitecture, and would apply the same princi-

ples of research-based architectural process

to the pursuit of art and drawing. That is, the

destination is open-ended. If I can envision

what i want to build and then execute it just

exactly as i had conceived, then at the end

i have learned no more than i had known at

the start. There is a level of uncertainty pres-

ent in every drawing exploration that seeks to

capture more than exactly what is there on

the surface.”

EPL “functional, efficient, original, no-nonsense design”– Edison Price

edison price began as a lighting designer; he became a

manufacturer only to provide the tools needed to affect

his architectural vision. His fixtures and track systems – opti-

cally precise yet elegantly unobtrusive – helped define the

modern architectural lighting industry.

price was awarded the illuminating engineering society’s

richard Kelly Lifetime achievement award, and the rare

AIA Medal, recognizing him as “one who has brightened

more excellent architecture than anyone else in history.”

edison price Lighting’s Gallery is dedicated to its founder,

Edison Price (1918 - 1997), whose innovations – including

recessed fixtures with spun aluminum reflectors, continuous

lighting track, and wall grazing systems – illuminated many

of the most beautiful spaces built in his time.

edison price Lighting upholds price’s legacy by continu-

ing to design and manufacture products that optimize his

goals of optical precision, glare control, efficiency and du-

rability. This gallery is an homage to a man who showed

that product design and manufacture can, and should, be

pursued as an art.

our comprehensive product line includes recessed down-

lights, accent lights, and wallwashers; track lighting systems;

wall grazing systems; and optical accessories. Our fixtures are

powered by a variety of Led modules, as well as traditional

light sources.

Edison Price Lighting is renowned for precise optical design.

our downlights’ low-brightness apertures—most often with a

40° shielding angle—ensure visual comfort. Our accent lights

offer in-demand features, such as narrow beamspreads and

multistory spotlighting. Our industry-leading wallwashers even-

ly illuminate walls from the ceiling to the floor.

Our company is ideally sized to be both reliable and flexible.

We are large enough to operate specialized departments

and a fully-equipped factory. Yet we are also small enough

to communicate quickly, work efficiently, and adapt to our

clients’ needs.

edison price Lighting is represented in north america by over

60 manufacturer’s representatives with a total of 100 branch

offices. Our international manufacturing partners and repre-

sentatives expertly manage projects around the world.

spreads from an impressively small 1.75” aperture. A glare-

minimizing LightPlate achieves a 40° shielding angle on the

two LED downlight, and a choice of spot or slot trims for the

two LED accent light.
