Contemporary Glass vase Sakura II by Maarten Vrolijk
About the Item
The Sakura glass Art collection uses cherry blossoms as its inspiration.“I am bewitched by spring”, Maarten Vrolijk explains. “Where I grew up in small Dutch town. There was a very special cherry tree in our garden that I felt very connected to in a certain way"".
""I regard my Sakura glass as a canvas where I paint with the various glass pieces like a painter with his paint”.
As a child there was something magical about how the black dark branches were converted into something magnificent in the form of cherry blossom that was apparent everywhere. I could not understand how people could keep on working or carry on living in the normal way when this miracle was in progress and nature was wakening again. Children see more clearly. As adults we are so busy fighting for our own egos, for money, success, a bigger house and suchlike that we forget what is important. ”
The glass vessels are recognised with their outgrowth of colored glass fragments. The volatility in accomplishing the exceptional thickness of his vases creates a risky balance between strength and delicacy. The thermal stress caused when trying to equalize the interior and exterior temperature of the cooling vessels, is fraught with the threat of breakage. The vessels show show a duality between the crystalline clarity posed against their substantial physical impact. To create each piece, a meticulously patterned bed of broken glass pieces is strategically laid down and heated to a specific temperature in order to be properly fused to a nascent blown glass form. The temperature and timing must be precisely in tandem. It is a high-stakes process that results in a kind of frozen sense of chaos.
