Murano Art Glass Dolphin Figurine

Beautiful abstract fish art glass sculpture is by Canadian glass artist, Jean-Marie Giguère. He uses the Graal technique to create layers in the glass. The is piece is translucent with 2 engraved green fish with orange interior that reflects on the translucent section to make a muted orange color on the translucent area. Inside the orange section is a blue section (that I believe represents water) which also reflects on the bottom of the piece. Signed and dated 1999. From Espace Verre, Giguère’s has been working with the Graal technique. "This process combines glassblowing and engraving within layers of glass, revealing a smooth decorative pattern. He is inspired by everything, while appropriating each element. "I have searched for the common denominators to all humans, to use them as themes in my compositions: the body, territory, family, home, ancestors, religion, temples, God, nature, food, lovemaking, as well as symbols of identity," says Giguère.Jean-Marie Giguère Biography from artist site: FORMATION 1988-1989 Travail du verre, Cours Intensif, Centre des métiers du verre du Québec, QC, Canada 1981-1983 Arts visuels : Verre I & II avec Pierre Osterrath, Université Laval, QC, Canada PERFECTIONNEMENT 2012 Sérigraphie et peinture sur verre avec Joseph Cavalliéri 2003 Technique tchèque de verre en fusion avec Francisek Eis 2002 Technique du Graal peint avec Morna Tudor 2000 Verre soufflé avec Philip Baldwin 1998 Taille du verre épais avec Gérald Bérubé 1997 Verre au chalumeau avec George Sarfi 1995 Traitement de surface avec Ronald Labelle 1994 Verre soufflé avec John Robinson 1993 Composition de décor avec Maurice Savoie 1992 Technique du Graal peint avec Lance Friedman 1991 Verre soufflé avec Lino Tagliapétra Verre soufflé avec Daniel Chrichton Pâte de verre avec Steven Weinberg...
