What we create
An artwork in public deserves production that honours the artist's vision. We work with artists, curators and organisers to carry an approved design into the world with care: careful lighting, exhibition production, and the site, structure and safety work that lets a piece be seen the way it was intended once the sun goes down.
For Noor Riyadh 2025, Magenta illuminated Skeleton of the Glorious by Khalid Zahid. We work with artists and curators to translate an approved creative vision into a carefully resolved experience of light and space.

Planning questions
- How do you work with artists and curators?
- We develop a lighting approach around the artist's intent, the site and the way visitors move through the work. For Skeleton of the Glorious by Khalid Zahid at Noor Riyadh 2025, Magenta provided the lighting.
- Can you light a piece we already own?
- Yes. We assess the materials, surfaces, sightlines and surrounding light, then propose an approach that gives the artwork presence and protects its character.
