Dale Chihuly, Famous Glass Artist

The world knows Dale Chihuly as a glass artist. But that is just one facet of his life. Over the course of five decades, Chihuly has explored new and old techniques, pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. He draws inspiration from the world around him, creating statements using color and form to capture the imagination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dale’s work represents a departure from the past. He pioneered a new way of working, utilizing gravity and centrifugal force to let molten glass find its shape in its own organic way. Asymmetry and irregularity is a defining principle of his work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His exhibitions and installations, such as the landmark Chihuly Over Venice in 1996 and Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem in 2000, bring art to the public on a grand scale, inviting interest and interaction. Chihuly began his forays into botanical gardens in 2001, inspiring garden lovers to see art in a new light. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dale’s Drawings began as a means of communicating his ideas to his glassblowing team. Today they are a series all their own. To create these spontaneous works, Chihuly has used a multitude of materials including acrylic paints, ink, pencil, watercolor, fire, and even coffee.

 

 

 

 

 

On October 19, 2017, Dale Chihuly was honored by Association Futurum at the annual Futurum Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Futurum Awards are presented to those who further education, inspiration, and ingenuity in the arts and sciences.
