ABOUT US
ABOUT US
JIGANTICS is a UK based light art studio founded by artist Jig Cochrane, that creates unique giant illuminated flower sculptures.
Beautiful as they are as individual artworks, when exhibited en masse, these immersive illuminated installations create dramatic flower forests and expansive ethereal gardens that effortlessly transform both urban and natural spaces into surreal/sublime dreamlike habitats to be explored.
As they burst and bloom with light, colour, sound, energy and imagination the gigantic lightworks, captivate and engage, ignite a sense of warmth and excitement and ultimately elicit feelings of awe-stuck wonder, reminding us that nature is big and we are small.
History
JIGANTICS was founded in 2007 by artist Jig Cochrane, after over 20 years experience of working with public arts groups and international charities to unite people and communities through the process and celebration of creating larger than life illuminated sculptures together.
In 2009 the family of activist and Body Shop founder Anita Roddick commissioned JIGANTICS to create twelve giant red tulip sculptures to be used as the illumination for a service to celebrate her life. Chosen to communicate her wish that hope, beauty and positive actions should overcome the challenging elements of the world.
Those red tulips were the birth of JIGANTICS as it is known today.
Over the years the diversity of designs has evolved along with the people involved in their creation and the technologies in lighting and sound that have made the way in which they are experienced increasingly dynamic and immersive.
The artworks have graced many of the world's most famous gardens and public spaces, so that they are now internationally recognised.
