Looking for examples of glass in art? Then consider works by Alexandra Scott, Dale Chihuly, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and more. Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the past few years. All are made with glass! I’ve added a couple more to my collection for you to check out! You can also visit the Chihuly Over Venice exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum for some great inspiration!
Stained glass
The technique of painting on stained glass can be divided into several styles. The Byzantine style, for instance, uses transparent glass and is reminiscent of paintings. It works well in rooms with lots of natural light and produces the illusion of floating patterns. The Vanguard style, on the other hand, is done on glossy glass and sets the tone of the room. However, there are some important differences between the two styles. Here’s an overview of the various types of stained glass.
Goblets
The Realm Makers Goblet by Leah Nietz was made using Effetre Glass and Double Helix Glass, and is an excellent example of the Igor Balbi technique. This technique makes use of gravity, centripetal force, and heat to create a beautiful glass vessel. It can be made using minimal tools and can be highly customized to reflect the needs of the customer. In addition, this glassware was created using the Dragon seal technique by Carter Engraving in Toledo.
Pitchers
Among the Academy of Art’s many outstanding graduates, the talented pitcher and director Paul Georges is one of the most widely known and admired. Georges, a former student of the Academy, has influenced several generations of artists, including Pitcher. After graduating from Santa Barbara High School, Pitcher relocated to Long Island, where he met and worked with New York School painter Paul Georges. The pair spent many summers together on Long Island and made frequent trips to New York City, where they pursued their art and craft while remaining true to their hometown roots.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers are beautiful and elegant lighting fixtures for indoor spaces. They can be used in many areas including foyers, dining rooms, and entryways. Chandeliers can be either single or multi-tiered and are usually mounted on walls or ceilings. Their varying sizes, shapes, and patterns make them a perfect choice for many different rooms in your home. This article will give you an overview of various types of chandeliers.
Dale Chihuly
Since Dale Chihuly began blowing glass nearly four decades ago, his art has been a constant source of controversy, and it is often difficult to separate craft from fine art. Critics have criticized the means by which Chihuly creates his works, yet they often fail to acknowledge the meaning and the significance of the creations. In order to assess Chihuly’s work, we must move beyond postwar American studio glass to examine it within a larger context.
Dale Chihuly’s Chihuly Over Venice
One of the most memorable events of the 1996 Biennale of Glass was a trip by Dale and his team to Venice, Italy. Chihuly had previously travelled to Ireland, Finland, and Mexico to create large-scale installations, including the iconic “Chihuly Over Venice” light show. But the artist’s unusual approach to installation, as well as his erratic schedule, prompted the temporary installation to be delayed for years.
Alexandra Scott
Alexandra Scott uses glass in her artwork. During her illness, she was inspired to use glass as a medium for her work. Throughout her illness, Alex used her creativity to raise money for childhood cancer research, including a lemonade stand. She had many fans and supporters, and her story inspired others to do the same. Last Friday, she was featured on NBC’s “Today” show. Since then, her parents have held lemonade stands throughout the world to raise money for the foundation.
Louis Comfort Tiffany
In addition to supplying beautiful stained glass windows for homes, the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany were popular in public buildings. He developed the technique of opalescent glass, known as Favrile glass, and patented it. Although most of his work was lost when fashions changed, it still serves as a popular method. Tiffany was a renowned glassblower and was also known for creating mosaics for the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg and the House of Representatives chamber in Washington. Some of the most famous works in the world are in the White House, the New York Public Library, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
