The American glass sculptor Dale Chihuly is well-known for his innovative techniques for creating handblown glass sculptures. His glass practice is a departure from traditional symmetrical and perfectly formed vessels. Instead, his works embrace asymmetry and irregular shapes to create unique sculptural forms.
Chihuly’s Seaforms series evolved from his Basket series when the artist sought to create more organic morphologies. The fluid, irregular, and organic forms of the series embody one of Chihuly’s sources of creativity, water. Characteristic translucent and spiral wraps with vibrant colors allude to creatures of the sea and the ocean. Furthermore, the transparency of the glass sculpture captures the natural rhythm and fluidity of the sea.
Tiger Lily Seaform Pair evokes a seashell while embracing Chihuly’s characteristic translucent yet bold colors. A blue border contrasts the warm reds and oranges of a tiger lily flower present. The spiral and spherical forms explore the harmony of movement while referencing waves. The opaque interior brings out the vibrancy of the warm color palette.
Tiger Lily Seaform Pair includes a gallery certificate of authenticity. The work is signed “Chihuly PP 02”. Furthermore, the artwork is in excellent condition with no flaws.
About Dale Chihuly:
One of the most famous contemporary glass artists in the world, Dale Chihuly is best known for his monumental sculptures and installations. He is the name behind the spectacular ceiling at the Bellagio’s flower garden in Las Vegas and the creator of the Rotunda Chandelier at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Glass works of Dale Chihuly are considered some of the most desired collectibles between the decorative arts devotees today. Despite his initial indifference towards education, Chihuly has spent a lot of time in school, obtaining both scientific and artistic degree in sculpture from prestigious graduate schools. He displayed a proclivity for interior design and craft early on, but his true passion was always in the glass. He was a Fulbright Fellow in the late 1960s and an apprentice at the Venini Glass Factory in Venice. Mastering the art of Murano glasswork, he continued the experiments with glassblowing and thus became one of the people who brought the ancient art of glassblowing back into the spotlight on an international scale.
Monumental and small-scale artwork of Dale Chihuly is present in over 200 most renowned decorative art collections today, while the artist holds twelve honorary doctorates!
The most illustrious series in his work are Cylinders and Baskets he created in the 1970s; Macchia, Venetians, and Persians from the 1980s, Niijima Floats and Chandeliers created in the 1990s; and a more recent one, Fiori from the 2000s.
For over 30 years, Dale Chihuly has been acting as an artistic director of his team of craftsmen, since he was incapacitated in two accidents, which left him blind in one eye and incapable of holding the blowing tube. This change allowed him to see the possibilities of glass work on a broader scale, while still maintaining his recognizable style.
