The inspiration for this Tranpunto Art Glass panel came from Le Jardin du Roi 01.The vibrant colors especially the greens and dynamic patterns must create a stunning effect, reminiscent of the lush and tropical beauty of the Seychelles. It's amazing how art can capture the essence of a place and bring its atmosphere to life.
Summary of comments when this piece was exhibited. The colors are absolutely stunning so bright and vivid. The green glass background enhances the color inclusions within the voids. The orange accents catch the eye, and the lettering on the fruit labels adds an element of intrigue. It creates a sense of wanting to approach the piece and search within it, without knowing exactly what you’re looking for. From a distance, the colors and voids merge into a single image, much like gazing at a rainforest. I can create my own patterns from the colors within the void forms. This might be one of my favorites so far, just because of the sheer number of elements within the artwork.
Trapunto Art Glass uses the secretly guarded processes used by the Mesopotamians (1650BC.) to make glass vessels which contained expensive perfumes for the courts of the rich and powerful, and also for use in religious ceremonies. It is said to have mystical qualities and when combined with the Trapunto textile manipulation technique used in Medieval Times (1450AD.) an art form like no other is produced - ones which cannot be copied, or mass produced. Exhibition comments show that Trapunto Art Glass results in a very special personal experience often referred to as spiritual, tranquil or nostalgic thus relaxing the viewer and stimulating the imagination. Each piece of Trapunto Art Glass can take up to 3 months to complete and involves over 50 separate processes and is made to the highest quality standards often using precise hand dyed colour silks to create the experience. Inserted in each piece of Trapunto Art Glass is a hand stamped copper token indicating its uniqueness, providence and safeguarding investment.
