2015

About the Item

Louis is an artist in the forefront of his field and his pieces are technical feats in style, execution and dimension. After his studies at the Rietveld Academy and the National Academy in Amsterdam, Louis la Rooy began his career in 1966 when he started making glass sculptures and installations.. Louis spent the following year almost entirely in the United States to teach and promote the technique of application in cooperation with the Willet Stained Glass Company. In 1968, he returned to the Netherlands and since then he has designed and realized many works of art. Louis is also commissioned to realize the glass designs of Dutch artists among whom Corneille, Appel and Wolkers. In 1981, through application, he created an enormous window designed by Rufino Tamayo, a project which allowed him to stay in Mexico for nearly a year. In addition, Louis realized many glass projects for both the Dutch government as well as for private customers. Furthermore, he participated in a number of co-exhibitions in the Netherlands and abroad. At the moment, Louis produces at the Van Tetterode glass studio in Amsterdam. This well-equipped studio is divided into a flat-glass, hot-glass and metal section where numerous projects are realised by using techniques such as application, sandcasting, glassblowing, fusion, sandblasting and etching.
