Forms Through Water - New in Glass
Newly arrived at the gallery, glass vessels by Vezzini & Chen and Michèle Oberdieck
Vezzini & Chen
Vezzini & Chen is a London based artist duo. This collection features varying forms and patterns created through glass-blowing and carving techniques. The vessels are inspired by the experience of looking at forms through water, seeing textures & shapes shift with the depth or disturbance of the surface.
Natural Forms
Natural forms inspire Michèle Oberdieck. She explores balance and asymmetry by looking at shape, surface and colour, using the vessel as a means. A three-dimensional form becomes a gesture or expressive mark. Michèle is drawn to biomorphic shapes found in plant growth and decay such as the delicate forms tulip petals take when making this journey. These beautiful twisted organic shapes reveal the motion of ageing stopped in its tracks. It is this transformation that she aims to capture in the glass.
““I aim to capture movement & character using the fluidity of blown glass by turning away from symmetry, to recreate the organic shapes found in nature.””
