Robin Lehman Leaping Fish Dichroic Art Glass Paperweight, 2017
Robin Lehman Leaping Fish Dichroic Art Glass Paperweight, 2017

Robin Lehman Leaping Fish Dichroic Art Glass Paperweight, 2017

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

Striking art glass sculpture or paperweight features rounded form in clear glass, fully covered with reliefs of leaping fish; the underside of the paperweight is accented with a layer of dichroic glass, adding a striking multi-color shift to the piece, going from blue to teal green, and then to magenta pink. The flowing, dynamic relief depicts its wildlife subjects in concise, refined style, influenced by Art Deco and Swedish Grace, as well as Danish Modern styles. The sculpture is elevated on 3 small clear resin feet, adding a gap between the object and the surface it's displayed on and enhancing the visual effects of the dichroic color shift. The paperweight is signed and dated by the artist on the underside. Robert O. “Robin” Lehman, an internationally renowned Rochester-based glass artist and documentary filmmaker, studied painting and graphic arts during his college years. When he graduated, he studied musical composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris and then worked with her for 10 years. While in Europe, Lehman combined his skills in sound and vision and began making documentary films. For his work, he has won more than 150 awards at most of the major film festivals in Cannes, Berlin, Chicago, Melbourne, San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. His films have also won two Academy Awards and a third nomination as well as an Emmy. Robin was invited to the Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass, where he filmed Venetian classical glass master, William Gudenrath...
