About the Item
In this wall-mounted sculpture, glass bottles and a round, cylindrical jug are mirrored with white gold leaf on half the inside, creating a reflective inner side visible through the clear front.
Richard Klein has utilized found objects in his sculptural work since the late 1990s. The objects are commonplace—cheap, everyday castoffs from our material culture that are sourced from the recycling stream, tag sales and flea markets. He values found objects because of the meanings and associations that come their former roles in our lives - they are vessels that can hold and contain substances, feelings, and ideas. Klein is inclined to use glass, often selecting bottles, eye glass lenses, or mirrors. Their transparency, refraction, and reflection speak of the immaterial. Obsessive craftsmanship, repetition, and accumulation reinforce materiality. Analogous to the human condition, these small sculptures exist in the space between these two extremes.
The historical and cultural influences in Klein’s work include (among other things) Surrealism, ‘Outsider” Art, Arte Povera, psychedelia and optical science. Despite its philosophical rigor, the art always revels in an undeniable sense of elegance and beauty.

- The Gunks, Hanging Torch-Worked Glass Chain Maille, Blue, White, Hunter GreenBy David LicataLocated in Kent, CTThis hanging sculpture by David Licata is composed of circular chain maille links of torch-worked borosilicate glass in shades of green from olive to dark hunter green, white, and sky blue with hints of cobalt towards the top. The circular links are joined together in a chain maille pattern, cascading downward from hooks that can be installed in the wall. The result is an ethereal, delicate work that casts dynamic shadows on its surroundings and glistens in light. Transforming rods of borosilicate glass with fire, David Licata uses a variety of gas torches to pull, stripe, blend, twist and bend glass into ornate links which are transformed into an elaborate wall sculptures of undulating glass. Licata who is exceptionally knowledgeable and adept at creating historic chaine maille patterns often bases his contemporary artwork in that tradition. Licata’s sculptures explore the ideas of protection inherant in chain maille and linked fencing in contradiction to the implicit fragility of glass. Variously transparent and opaque, solid and ephemeral, his glass sculptures are solid forms and also cast shadows that are fugitive and integral parts of the artwork. David Licata has a MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI and a BA in Fine Arts and Education from SUNY New Paltz...Category
