Stained Art (98)

Artists Describing Their Art:

Lance Foshe - It is my sincere wish to perpetuate the standards and beauty that Louis Comfort Tiffany brought about during the Art Nouveau movement and to pay homage to him through the careful execution of museum-quality reproductions of his lamps. My goal is to create wonderful pieces of art that truly represent Tiffany quality and to give you a chance to own a glimpse of a by-gone era. My passion for working in stained glass is eclipsed only by my desire to continue learning about and recreating these wonderful lamps. I use nothing but the finest art glass available and utilize many of the same techniques Tiffany used in his day in order to produce a quality product. To ensure solid construction, all shades are carefully soldered and made with a sturdy brass ring at the top and a 3/16" brass rim on the bottom. For shades larger than 22", heavy-gauge copper reinforcement wires are installed on the inside from top to bottom. Prices quoted below are for the shade only. Vase caps and wheels are included. Please call me at (310)753-7448 for prices on reproduction bases or custom designs. Happy shopping!...

Iva Kalikow - My first love was interior design, which I studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. I went on to study drawing and color at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. There are many design elements that come into play when creating an interior environment. Glass and light are my tools for enhancing the beauty of a structure as well as the ambience of a room. I create one-of-a-kind custom designed leaded stained glass art panels that can be incorporated in interior structures such as doors, windows, room dividers, or displayed hanging as framed works of art. For my latest collection, Ive combined my love of color and glass with my appreciation of master artists and found inspiration from the master works of Picasso, Van Gogh, Modigliani, OKeeffe, Cezanne and Matisse. My glass art panels grace homes in New York City, Miami Beach, West Palm Beach, Los Angeles, Palm Springs and The Berkshires in Massachusetts. ...

Plamen Yordanov - I share the idea of an art that creates reality instead of offering its conventional model. I want to provoke the birth of view that go beyond the boundary of reality itself. These viewpoints stress an order that exist "a priory" in nature and can be developed again and again. This aspect makes the picture exist as a signal that gives the onlooker a chance to go deep into his/her life experience and mind. This is a universal signal to which the individual responds in un unique manner and creates his/her own reality. ...
