Beneon Fine Art
Ben Livingston is internationally known as a neon/light sculptor and inventor of an infinite phosphorescent color palette, which glows within his luminous tubes. This discovery won him a fellowship with the National Endowment for the Arts. Other honors include the Paul Waterbury International Lighting Design Award, where his (home made) animated "Neon Mural #1", (a downtown Austin landmark from 1986 - 2008)beat the statue of liberty in New York and his "Confabulating Orbits" an Austin Art in Public Places commission inside the Austin Convention Center.
