About the Item

Isabelle Scheltjens’ elegant glass portraits celebrate materiality. Growing up with a love of pop art, Scheltjens infused her passion with natural talent and years of education at SISA, the Antwerp City Institute for Decorative Arts and Crafts. After meeting her husband, glass craftsman Dirk Neefs, Scheltjens began exploring the material in her own work. After years of intense experimentation, her method refined into an entirely unique practice and a mastery of color theory. Her technique of glass-fusing involves melting together pieces of glass of different colors, sizes, and textures at approximately 800°C (1472°F). The resulting image pays homage to pointillism: forming an abstract image up close, yet a dramatic and precise portrait from a distance. Isabelle achieves striking optical effects with her technique, capturing the dance of light and color – the fascinating result of a process that relies on the perceptive ability of the eye and mind of the viewer. Scheltjens has exhibited in New York City, Paris, Hong Kong, Antwerp, Dubai, Amsterdam, and London, among many others.
