This is just a tiny bit of the jaw-dropping work of New York based artist Fred Wilson. He is one of several artists featured in Glasstress 2021. Now, normally Glasstress happens in Venice, home of all things glass {I saw Glasstress 2017 in person, and it was a major highlight of my trip}. This year, however, this exhibition of breathtaking glass artworks has crossed the pond and is currently happening in Boca Raton, FL! The lineup of artists is insane {Ai Weiwei, Joyce J. Scott, Nancy Burson, Jimmie Durham, Fiona Banner just to name a few}, but I just had to show you Fred’s gorgeous pieces. Here’s a little bit about him:

Known for his politically charged work that explore issues faced by Africans and African-Americans in past centuries, Fred Wilson makes sculptures that are, first and foremost, beautiful. His Murano glass mirrors are made from onyx Murano glass – a color never before used for decorative objects. ~ via Artsy.net

Glasstress was at Boca Raton Museum of Art until September 5, 2021. You can also find Fred Wilson’s work via Pace Gallery.
