Objet
Petite Série (<100)
|
After more than ten years of working alongside glass masters from Murano, Emmanuel Babled, with this exhibition, confirms his expertise in glass making and revives the forms and languages of this art. Toys is a celebration of the playful yet irreverent manner in which Babled works this extremely precious, fragile and richly historical material. He explores the limits of hand-held glass blowing techniques and allows only the most technically perfect pieces to emerge from the furnaces. This perfection in craft is accompanied, nonetheless, by a constant and deliberate betrayal of the classical idea of the vase, decorative object, or animal figurine. The functional size and decorative aspects of the pieces are being constantly challenged and reworked.
The Unita series concentrates on architecture, or non-anthropomorphic structures man builds as containers for himself. A building can also be a vase - an instrument that ensures a certain, constant presence, a flow of entries and exists. |
Technique
All the works on exhibit from the new series Toys have been produced exclusively by the renown glassworks company VENINI. It is an outstanding venture for the world-famous glass manufacturer who enthusiastically produced the innovative pieces - creations whose design is both respectful and indifferent to tradition and far from commercial tastes.
