In 2012, 4Me4You was invited to witness the surreal brilliance of God’s Own Junkyard, a neon-lit wonderland that defies imagination. Located in the heart of East London, this extraordinary gallery is not just a collection of lights; it’s an immersive journey into a kaleidoscope of colours, art, and history.
For 4Me4You, this wasn’t merely a visit, it was an introduction to a world where the lines between the past and future blur, and creativity reigns supreme.
At the time, Chris Bracey, the visionary behind the gallery, had spent years curating and collecting neon signs, vintage movie props, and unique artworks that together tell the story of both pop culture and personal memory.
For 4Me4You, stepping into God’s Own Junkyard was like stepping into a dream, a world where the glow of neon seemed to bring the air to life, and the quiet hum of the lights created an energy that was both nostalgic and futuristic.
The space, which once started as a personal collection, had evolved into a visual history of iconic movie sets and experimental art, ranging from pieces used in blockbuster films like Batman and The Matrix, to personal works that captured the eccentric and surreal spirit of Bracey’s mind.
In God’s Own Junkyard, the ordinary was transformed into the extraordinary, a place where the light itself became an art form and the entire gallery felt alive with creative energy. It was a moment of revelation, a glimpse into the limitless potential of art and the magic that happens when the past, present, and future collide.
