Dale Chihuly: Beyond the Object is currently on view at Halcyon Gallery in London through April 5, 2014.
The focus of the exhibition is the artist’s architectural installations including Chandeliers, Towers, neon and new Fiorielements.
Visitors who enter the gallery will walk beneath Persian Pergola Ceiling, an immersive canopy of color, form and light. This is the first time he has created a Persian Ceiling for a gallery setting. It forms the centerpiece of a Persian series focus that includes Persian Walls and his new Persian Crescent artworks.
“What I've always really been interested in is space. Even when I made a single Cylinder or Macchia, my interest was always in space. I was thinking not of the object itself, but how the object would look in a room.” –Chihuly
Other artworks on view include Basket sets, Ikebana, Macchia, Seaform sets, Soft Cylinders and Drawings.
