Early Glass Sculpture Vessel from Tlingit Hat Series by Preston Singletary

About the Item

A large early glass vessel in the form of a reversed traditional Tlingit Hat by American studio artist Preston Singletary (b. 1963) circa 1998. Based in Seattle and of Tlingit heritage, Singletary is a glass artist who distinguishes himself by infusing traditional Native Indian motifs from Northwest Coast into his contemporary glass work. Hand-blown followed by etching and sandblast, the artist created tribal symbols and motifs on the glass surface that appears ethereal and mysterious, especially under the light. This vessel is called "Frog Hat" from the artist's 'Tlingit Hat' series. It is of a rare apple green color with etched clear and frosted texture and features an image of crouching frog. It is signed and dated on the underside as shown. Reference: For a similar vessel in the same series, see "Whale Hat: 2019.3.15 in the collection of Seattle Art Musuem. Further Reading: see "Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass, 2020, Museum of New Mexico Press, Santa Fe, Chambers, Leotta", for an overview of Singletary's artistry and vision: 'Over the past thirty years, Singletary has developed a singular body of work ranging from symbolic pieces that tell the story of his culture to renditions in glass of vessels, boxes, and baskets. Looking at his work collectively, one can see he has created an entire iconography of glass art drawn from Tlingit motifs, but his forms are somewhat abstracted, giving a contemporary feel to his beautiful creations.' p.49.

Ceramic Figurative Sculpture by Akio Takamori Published

By Akio Takamori

Located in Atlanta, GA

A large figurative ceramic sculpture entitled by Akio Takamori (1950 - 2017) created in 2004. Stoneware with hand-painted surface, the sculpture depicts a half-naked standing boy figure with his hands in praying position. His berobed lower body, interestingly, morphed into a highly sculptural form. The scarlet color drapery with black stripes swells and coils into shapes that resembles breasts, echoing the statue's young age. The figure was apparently based on Prince Shotoku (574-622AD), a semi-legendary regent of the Asuka period...

Turbulence in Aubergine, a Bubbly Glass Sculpture / Vessel by Anthony Scala

By Anthony Scala

Located in London, GB

Turbulence in Aubergine is a unique glass sculpture by the British artist, Anthony Scala. Sculpted and handblown, this artwork is created from very thick glass which is filled with a multitude of trapped bubbles. Each one sparkles and catches the light, all enhanced by the intense yet fading colour of the main form. About this collection in the artist's own words; "My Turbulence pieces have always been a way for me to step back from my precise optical work and re-engage with the material on a more ‘physical’ level. The colours I choose are always soft, muted shades which act as the perfect backdrop for the drama and movement of the effervescence. The shapes are unfussy so as not to detract from the light play given off by the myriad of bubbles. The pieces are blown incredibly thickly. This is to maximise the depth of the glass and impart an intensity of movement to the effervescence captured within each piece" With a career in glass now spanning over 20 years, Scala creates art works that can only be described as acts of precision. As equally beautiful as they are meticulously created and despite being a hugely skilled glass blower, it is with cold working that Scala excels. Initially qualified as an architectural model maker, it was during this time that Scala learnt many disciplines that would be equally relevant to and ultimately inform his practice today. His passion for glass was discovered however during an apprenticeship with Peter Layton at his studio at London Glassblowing. The beginning of a long standing association for him with this acclaimed studio. In 2005 at the age of 27, Scala won the prestigious 'Glass Sellers Award' (other recipients have included Alison Kinnard, Colin Reid, Richard Jackson, and Bob Crooks...
