Tokyo at dusk, the hour when neon begins to hum along the city’s veins. The light here is a mix of warm and cool tones, with teal and orange signage bleeding into the soft blue sky, while illuminated storefronts cast long rectangles across pavement and facades. Ludwig Favre works in the narrow alleys between towering glass and concrete structures, where motion-blurred taxis and pedestrians move beneath tangled wires and overhead advertisements. The city’s energy is captured in fragments: a red lantern behind glass, a man walking past a glowing storefront, a tiled building facade adorned with vertical signage. The focus is on the interplay of light and surface, the way neon reflects on weathered brick or smooth glass, creating a palette of vibrant hues against muted backgrounds.

A red lantern behind glass, its glow barely visible under the tangled wires and neon of the alley.

The Tokyo neon dusk series by Ludwig Favre is available as a limited edition fine art print, signed and numbered.
