Dave Chihuly, the world’s premier glass artist, is one of my favorite artists and inspires me to capture moments that remind of his memorable exhibitions. I wish to one day have the opportunity to take more photos of his unique artworks around the world. His glassblown installations are filled with vibrant colors and gradients inspired by natural, from flowers to animals.. Most of his pieces are warm with vivid oranges and yellows, but his recent pieces have been cooler blue shades. When illuminated, his exhibits transform an entire room into a lively magical dreamlike world in slow motion.

He hes been commissioned to design and create over 150 public installations around the world from California, to his more recent installation at the Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai.

A little more about Dale Chihuly:

“Dale Chihuly is most frequently lauded for revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement by expanding its original premise of the solitary artist working in a studio environment to encompass the notion of collaborative teams and a division of labor within the creative process.  However, Chihuly’s contribution extends well beyond the boundaries both of this movement and even the field of glass: his achievements have influenced contemporary art in general.  Chihuly’s practice of using teams has led to the development of complex, multipart sculptures of dramatic beauty that place him in the leadership role of moving blown glass out of the confines of the small, precious object and into the realm of large-scale contemporary sculpture.  In fact, Chihuly deserves credit for establishing the blown glass form as an accepted vehicle for installation and environmental art beginning in the late twentieth century and continuing today.”
