About the Item

Duncan McClellan Figurative Acid-Etched Art Glass Vase, Palm Tree Offered for sale is a wonderful Duncan McClellan signed acid-etched art glass vase depicting a seating figure in a meditating position. The figure has his arms raised to the sky with tropical palm trees in colors of blue, yellow, and red. This is a wonderful example of American art glass design by a very talented artist. The artist's biography in his own words follows: "My fascination with glass began at age 5, when I visited a glass factory in West Virginia. I never forgot the image of the glowing, molten mass being formed by an expert craftsman. After successfully working with leather and clay, I finally had the opportunity to learn to blow glass at a studio in Ybor City, Florida in 1987. I have studied the creation of larger forms with Fred Kahl and John Brekke, instructors and artists working at the New York Experimental Glass Workshop. I am now working in an additional facility, Sigma Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida. When producing larger and more complex forms, assistance is used to provide an extra pair of hands during the blowing and polishing processes. Currently my work depicts through the use of recognizable icons, emotions relating to family, personal growth, and the spiritual connections between each of us as souls. The focus is centered around the internal graal technique and overlay techniques, incorporating hand cutting and photoresist. To finish these works, acid-etching, fire-polishing methods, and a six-stage grinding and polishing techniques are used. These processes used in my one-of-a-kind and series works, enable imagery inside, on the surface, or in some cases both, to juxtapose combined images to articulate the message or idea. Learning these techniques and through experimentation with the medium has allowed me more freedom of expression, to better draw the viewer to what I envision and hopefully touch similar emotions."
