Thor Bueno
For glass artist Thor Bueno, glass gathers light and color with a
purity that no other material can. He insists that all of his works
reflect this extraordinary quality: "Touching blown glass is the
closest one can get to the elusive experience of holding light."
Bueno's broad, flattened vessels provide a canvas on which he
displays rich and rough surfaces that resemble the cave paintings
of Lascaux, France. He creates each design using many layers of
colored-glass powders that are distressed to produce simple,
elegant patterns evocative of humankind's first artworks. The glass
is etched with sand to create a glowing matte finish.
