American artist Graham Caldwell is engaged in a craft that is not quite usual for an artist. He is a true, dedicated glassblower. The artist has repeatedly tried himself in other artistic guises, but each time he returned to his favorite material.
Caldwell has always been interested in the internal connection between glass and the ability to see and notice - the lenses of glasses that allow a person who loses his sight to see the world, the lenses of a telescope, thanks to which one can see distant stars … His works look futuristic and intriguing: molecules, balls, original colored weaves, mirrors - The variations on Caldwell's talented sculptures are truly endless.
Graham Caldwell was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1973. He grew up in Washington, D. C. and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design in 1998. At the moment, the artist lives and works in Brooklyn, and his solo exhibitions are successfully held in large exhibition spaces in the country. Other works of the artist can be seen here.
Designer Sigga Heimis also came up with the idea to embody his original ideas in glass. The artist turned out to be a stranger to abstraction - he creates human organs from glass. And this is no coincidence: in this way he draws public attention to the problem of organ donation.
