Aqua Soft Cylinder with Carmine Lip Wrap, 2014
Chihuly at Pismo Fine Art Glass opens today and is on view until September 30, 2014.
The Golden Teal Chandelier is the focal point of the exhibition along with the latest manifestations of the artist's Fiori elements, which developed from his mother's passion for gardening. Other artworks on view include Drawings, Seaforms and the newest evolution of Soft Cylinders.
Continuing to evolve his Soft Cylinder series, Chihuly revisited these artworks in spring 2014 pushing the technique, scale and color in unprecedented ways. The new Soft Cylindercolor selections are bright hues including scarlet, turquoise, tangerine and persimmon done with bold saturation. The history behind these pieces spans decades – a combination of his Cylinders and Baskets, he started the Soft Cylinders series in 1984. Initially working with Flora C. Mace on the pick-up drawing and now Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick, the team celebrates 30 years of this iconic series.
An opening reception is being held July 12 in Denver.
