Dylan Martinez - Light Purple, 2024

2024

About the Item

A hyper-realistic glass sculptor, Dylan's playful creations deceive the eye with their lifelike appearance. Whether mimicking water balloons or plastic bags filled with water housing a goldfish cracker, each piece is meticulously designed and crafted using traditional glass-making techniques in an innovative and masterful manner. Dylan's artistic endeavors consistently delve into the intricate realms of human perception. His creations disrupt conventional expectations, skillfully manipulating light, space, and the optical nuances of glass. While deeply rooted in traditional glass-making techniques, Dylan is ceaselessly committed to unearthing innovative approaches to harness the full potential of the medium. Notably, his hyper-realistic water bag sculptures defy the viewer's expectations, ingeniously playing with the boundaries between glass objects and seemingly mundane plastic bags filled with water. In his latest series, Dylan embarks on a journey into pop art, marking a departure from his previous palette. For the first time in several years, color becomes a protagonist in his artistic narrative. The series introduces solid sculpted Pac-Man inspired ghosts and hyper-realistic water balloons. These creations, with their beguilingly simplistic design, draw the viewer in through their ethereal luminosity. Dylan's exploration of pop art not only expands the visual spectrum of his work but also invites a fresh perspective on the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. This sculpture will be shipped directly from the artist's studio.

  • Surrealist Porcelain Teapot and Cup Set with Tray, Ceramic and Glass Accents
    By Bonnie Seeman
    Located in St. Louis, MO
    Bonnie Seeman grew up in Miami, Florida with a propensity towards anatomy illustration and the dazzling colors and rich foliage of the Miami landscape. Developing her technique with porcelain and glass, Seeman channeled this inspiration; the resulting vessels are beautiful and macabre combinations of anatomical parts and plant forms. Often the utilitarian vessels open to reveal her trademark dichotomy between outward beauty and visceral illness. Instead of dwelling on dying, Seeman’s palpable forms culminate in an acute awareness and awe toward life, nature, and vitality. Shortly after completing her master’s degree in Fine Arts, Seeman was recognized by Galeria OMR in Mexico City, a gallery known for it conceptual, cutting-edge artists. In effect, Seeman’s porcelain was taken out of the craft context and placed in art exhibitions such as ARCO in Madrid, FIAC in Paris, and Art Basel. She shows extensively throughout the United States and was recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation 2005 Biennial Competition Award.
