Boris Shpeizman
Rise of a Lollipop Man: The Bike - Original Hand Blown Glass Sculpture

2020

About the Item

Boris Shpeizman, an glass craftsman, transforms the childhood dreams of men into tangible art, focusing on the yearning for unattained toys and their delicate inner worlds. He crafted a life-size motorcycle entirely from glass, symbolizing the dream he was dissuaded from due to safety concerns. Utilizing "hot glass" technique, Shpeizman shapes glass into dynamic forms like motorcycle wheels and handlebars, emphasizing the unique fluidity and versatility of glass at high temperatures. His creation, a golden motorcycle reminiscent of Helios' horse, serves as a metaphor for ethereal dreams versus reality. This artwork is part of his "Rise of a Lollipop" series, reflecting on the perpetual innocence and desires hidden within every man. Shpeizman, a prominent figure in the art scene and an educator, enriches the global art community with his workshops and exhibits, portraying that the value of dreams, encapsulated in his glass motorcycle, far exceeds their physical counterparts. The sculpture is composed of over 100 pieces of hand-blown glass. Its creation spanned approximately two years. The artist envisions it as the inaugural piece in a series titled "Rise of a Lollipop.
