Night of Celebration Artwork

Derya Geylani Vuruşan Artwork Fine Art

Night of Celebration

Night of Celebration is a wall-mounted glass sculpture. The work joins antique glass goblets with a freely blown glass form. A mold of an antique goblet was pressed onto the heated body, leaving a concave negative imprint on the surface. Hot glass appears to pour from the goblets, suggesting the continuity of tradition through time. After cooling, the form was cut and polished, then coated with a special solution for a pearl effect and baked again. The finished piece measures 430 by 200 by 500 millimeters.

Cryptographic Beings Artwork

Michael Sedbon Artwork Installation

Cryptographic Beings

Cryptographic Beings is an art installation that stores digital data in living algae. The work consists of thirty vegetal bits, each one a glass vessel holding filamentous algae. Photosynthesis produces gas vesicles, so the algae float in light and sink in darkness. Each floating or sinking state represents a digital zero or one, and the installation can store a five letter word. Motorized robotic arms control the light reaching every vessel, and a custom colour sensor reads each state. The machine runs autonomously for months during an exhibition.

Jellybelly Artwork

Florian W. Mueller Artwork Photography

Jellybelly

Jellybelly is a fine art photography series that portrays jellyfish. The images were taken inside a large aquarium at night, in complete darkness. Only a few artificial lights inside and outside the aquarium were used, giving the jellyfish a subtle glow. The series aims to capture the elegant movement and aesthetic of a species that is also an indicator of water quality. Each image is printed on fine art paper, mounted on aluminium and set in a black oak frame with a two centimetre shadow gap. Two limited editions are offered, sized 50 by 50 cm and 80 by 80 cm.

Proof of Rain Artwork

Derya Geylani Vuruşan Artwork Fine Art

Proof of Rain

Proof of Rain is a contemporary glass sculpture inspired by rainfall. The work is made of hot shaped glass in varying shades of blue. Small droplets, formed through flameworking with a controlled splashing effect, represent raindrops. A blown blue form beneath the droplets represents the accumulation of life experiences. The sculpture measures 380 by 200 by 450 millimeters. Proof of Rain is shown as a static installation, and light reveals the depth and reflections of the glass. The intent is to join nature and craft in one form.

CityWood Artwork

Hubert Roguski Artwork Fine Art

CityWood

CityWood is a wooden map artwork that presents a city as a three dimensional object. City streets, water and landscape are represented by separate wooden layers, and the layers create depth. Each layer of fine quality plywood is cut with laser technology, polished for a smooth surface and assembled by hand. The layers are set in a wooden frame that measures 450 mm in width, 450 mm in height and 30 mm in depth. The artwork can hang on a wall or stand on a desk. The natural grain of the wood makes each map different.
