About the Item
Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's "How to Disappear" white neon offers customizable settings: blink fast, blink slow, or remain static—the choice is yours. Every few years, Peter discovers an idea worth transforming into neon. It must be more than just another sign; we already have plenty of those, both good and bad. Many lights sparkle, but how many make you think? This piece speaks to Peter, speaks about Peter, and invites you to contemplate your place in this moment in time. Time is fleeting, so cherish the little things that can make the biggest impact.
His neons reflect his continued introspection of words and writing, as well as our American cultural landscape. They comment on our overabundance and the littered landscape of signs and lights, exploring opposites: creating beauty from the ugly, and the magic of light.
This piece touches on themes of our collective and individual history, the cycles of time, and the fleeting nature of life. Peter is having serious fun with the technology and prose, creating an iconic image that captures it all. The measurements below reflect just the letters, with the total dimensions being 52” wide and 6' high from the floor. This neon comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist and ships directly from his studio in East Hampton, NY.

Peter Buchman "Now Showing”, Voice-Over Paintings Series, 2025
By Peter Buchman
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's 'Now Showing' is created using laser-cut plexiglass, acrylic medium, and enamel on wood. It's part of his Voice-Over series, in which the artist gathers linguistic phrases to immortalize the valuable contributions of other cultures to the American Diaspora. To describe Buchman's word paintings as 'A Figure of Speech' is an understatement of the profound soulfulness they embody. They bear the marks of the artist's hand but also carry the collective spirit of those who came before him. These words derive from familiar phrases, music albums, his unique brand of irony, and the very essence of the human form.
'Now Showing' draws inspiration from Film Noir, a genre that held a profound influence on Peter's film and cinematic journey. The strident and punctual dialogue always fascinated him, along with the black and white director's perspectives. As an artist who spent hours drawing and sketching in pencil, the dramatic black and white hardened scenes just gripped him. He wanted smoke and spit and to rough something up. He wanted to emulate those textures, those scenes, that gut reaction with danger but in a poetic sense. The work reflects someone who is under interrogation, spilling their guts out, or just spilling the beans. It's a collection of phrases Peter unearthed or scratched out from movies or vintage pulp...

Peter Buchman "No Portrait, No Landscape", Voice-Over Paintings Series, 2018
By Peter Buchman
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's "No Portrait, No Landscape" white painting is made of laser cut plexiglass, acrylic medium and enamel on wood. It's a part of his Voice over Series, one that poetically mocks knowledge and itself in an endless bantering list style. To explain that Buchman’s word paintings are ‘A Figure Of Speech’ is underestimating the level of soulfulness at which these works reside. They are markings directly from the artist’s hand yet are indications of many people before him. These are words from familiar phrases, music albums, his funny brand of irony and the human form itself. Signed and dated en verso. This will ship directly from the one of the artist's studios.
