Habatat Galleries represents the cast glass sculpture of Czech artist Vladimira Klumpar. Her abstract forms capture your imagination.
Some refer to them as glass and stone enchantments, others as tomb-like and unsettling, but to artist Christina Bothwell, her work is highly spiritual. Her translucent figures rising from their bodies evoke images of a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, feeling mutually protected and secure but also fragile in spite of their hardy material. We first featured Bothwell's works on our blog, and since then, she has gone on to explore more personal themes, dealing with the fear of her own mortality, as well as the fragility and temporary qualities of our bodies, versus the idea that we are more than just physical beings.
Recently, artisans have been working on ways to revive traditional Japanese craftsmanship, with some of their contemporary creations garnering international recognition.
New York based artist Daniel Arsham (previously here, here and here) recently completed a number of new works, most notably these three figurative sculptures made from compacted broken glass, inspired by the discovery of glass shards in his home after hurricane Andrew in 1992. Other new sculptures include several picture frames using the same broken glass treatment and cameras formed from sand and stone. Arsham’s work is almost universally devoid of color or complexity and instead relies solely on the physical manipulation of basic materials to accomplish each new idea, a process that often involves altering of gallery wall surfaces to encase, suspend, or shroud his sculptures.

In my work I am drawn to the processes of birth death and renewal What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the qualities of the unseen that express the sense of wonder that I feel in my daily existence I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural media can in addition it offers an inner space and transmits light My subject matter includes babies animals and children as they embody the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic and have been incorporating figures within figures in my pieces Within each glass figure there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass I think of these pieces as souls each being pregnant with their own potential giving birth to new improved versions of themselves

Latchezar Boyadjiev was born and raised in Sofia Bulgaria where he attended the Ceramics Department of the Academy of Applied Arts In 1985 he was admitted to the prestigious Academy of Applied Arts in Prague Czech Republic formerly Czechoslovakia under the guidance of Professor Stanislav Libensky one of the most prominent glass artists of our time and influential source for most glass artists in the Czech Republic and Slovakia In 1986 just after graduating from the Academy Latchezar Boyadjiev defected to the United States via Italy After settling in California Boyadjiev worked for more than ten years in the field of optical glass using cold work techniques such as cutting grinding polishing and laminating to create his optical glass sculptures that he became initially known for Since there were limits to the size of his objects he decided to change to a different technique to accomplish that goal His drawing technique changed from pencil to charcoal the glass technique from optical to cast glass The Academys strict curriculum of daily drawing and design classes for five years had its intended effect on the young student Today the artist is saying when he is working on new designs he keeps drawing until something finally strikes him New designs sometimes take him hours days or weeks to complete Once a drawing is satisfactory a clay model is made The next step is the actual sculpture rendered in clay with perfectly smooth surfaces and details Next follows a series of positive and negative molds a time time consuming and detail oriented process that will lead to the final plaster positive that will determine the outcome of the sculpture Initially those plaster positives were delivered to the Czech Republic by the artist in person With the goal of selecting the best glass casting studios and glass color selections available It also gave him the opportunity of working with some old friends from days past to create his new glass sculptures that were cast into yet another mold and later annealed partially ground and polished His new and exciting work was introduced at SOFA 1997 in Chicago and the response was very enthusiastic dynamic sculptures reflecting depth and dimension a new approach to contemporary glass art and design The main focus of my work is to create dynamic shapes supported by sensual lines that will gradually evolve from an idea on paper to a sculpture in glass and combined with light it will have a powerful impact on the viewer I want my work to become a part of modern architecture and a contemporary environment to reflect the era in which we live

"Reaching for Consciousness" John Littleton & Kate Vogel Exhibiting members in Glass
From her Pennsylvania studio, Christina Bothwell (previously) sculpts surreal hybrid creatures and figures that occupy the unearthly space between dreams and wakefulness. She works with a combination of annealed glass, pit-fired ceramics, oil paint, and small mosaic tiles, which each correspond to a conceptual element. “I always come back to the idea that the physical part of us is just a small part of who we are in our entirety,” the artist tells Colossal.
