The art of making amazing crafts and even full-fledged glass sculptures has existed for many centuries. The most famous glassblowers live in Venice on the island of Murano. Here comes the New York artist Daniel Arsham creates, perhaps, the most unusual of this kind of work. After all, he makes them from … broken glass.
Daniel Arsham is already known to regular readers of the site Culturology. RF due to his unusual view of the world, which he expresses in his work. Examples of his work include sculptures from the Three Dimensions series or artificial clouds Clouds. The new series of his works, as expected, is completely unrelated to the previous ones either in meaning or in content.
Daniel Arsham created several sculptures from a rather unusual material - broken glass. Moreover, he made full-size human figures, each of which has its own posture and carries a conceptual component embedded in it by the author.
These sculptures look very fragile, it seems that one has only to touch them, and these structures will immediately scatter to dust. In fact, they are quite strong - these fragments are held together with a special glue, transparent and visually invisible.
According to Daniel Arsham himself, in these works of broken glass, he wanted to show people in a thoughtful state, in a state of fragile inner balance, which is easy to destroy with just a touch. And, it should be noted, he did it wonderfully!
These works, in which Daniel Arsham showed an amazing harmony between material, form and concept, can be seen firsthand at the Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in London, where they will be on display until November 17th.
