出神入化但小心打破的玻璃藝術 by Robert Mikelsen



It is Fragile!:


1951年生在美國維吉尼亞州Fort Belvoir,而在夏威夷長大的的Robert Mikelsen本來只是一位普通的玻璃藝術家,他把他的作品擺在戶外市場販售,直到有一天,他去上了玻璃藝術家Paul Stankard的課後,眼界大開,創作的手法丕變,現在作品都在畫廊展覽,事業也蒸蒸日上了,這些玻璃作品,都是他的傑作。


Most of us have seen conventional glass art, and clearly Robert Mikelsen has taken a different direction with how to use this medium. His work is delicate and intricate.
P.S. Take a look at the vase within post. Do you see the optical illusion?


Notes about the artist (from bio):
Born in 1951 in Fort Belvoir , Virginia and raised in Honolulu , Hawaii , Robert’s formal education ended after one year of college. He apprenticed with a professional lampworker for two years in the mid-seventies and then sold his own designs at outdoor craft fairs for ten years. In 1987 he took a class from Paul Stankard that opened his eyes to the possibilities of his medium. In 1989, he stopped doing craft shows and began marketing his work exclusively through galleries. Since then, his career has taken off.
