In Bertil Vallien’s world, we encounter the inner soul of the glass. With Black Elements, clear glass is strongly contrasted against opaque black glass. The objects in the collection have Vallien’s renowned hand-painted glass heads cast in solid blocks of glass. The collection, which is part of Kosta Boda Artist Collection, launched first in 2008. . . . #bertilvallien #kostaboda #artglass #glasssculpture #artglasssculpture #sundayart #sculptureoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIRVzJoLY7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Face (Pilchuck 6), Bertil Vallien, Date Unknown, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

mask; roughly triangular boat-like form; pebbled surface with rust-colored surface accretions; protruding elements in rows on forehead; rounded, blue glass horns; rounded, handle-like, C-shaped fluted metal element at top center; vertical bundle of copper wires through center; dark blue and white glass piece at bottom; attached to cross-shaped metal hanger with adhesive and horizontal loops of wire across center Over the past few decades, Bertil Vallien has dedicated himself to advancing the manipulation of glass as an artistic medium, turning particularly to the use of sandcasting, a technique which was originally developed for industrial purposes, such as metal casting. Originally trained in ceramics, he became fascinated with the light-absorbing properties of glass in the 1960's and 1970's, creating works of varied form and technique, which he infused with metaphysical and pre-historical motifs. In the 1990s, Vallien began to focus on simplifying the form of his creations and "taming" the natural translucency of his glass. He has continued to create works which allude to the abstract and transcendental, calling for reflection, particularly through the inclusion of human faces. In Face, Vallien combines this newer motif with another recurring archetype in his work: the form of a boat. While the shape of Face denotes a vessel meant for travel and the exploration of new worlds, its decoration is akin to the tribal masks of such far-off lands. The work speaks simultaneously to discovery both new and primal, of exotic lands and of ancient tradition. Size: 24 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. (62.23 x 26.67 x 13.97 cm) (approx.) Medium: Glass, metal

”Ett lejon på vift” ja det kan man säga för det borde vara på Boda Zoo men har fått följa med mig hem. Bertil Vallien har skapat så många unika föremål för Kosta Boda och när han skapade serien Boda Zoo någon gång på 70 talet ja då hade han nog tagit fram barna sinnet. En unik kollektion är det i alla fall. Lejonet har i alla fått ett nytt hem här hemma så jag hoppas inte att det rymmer sin väg som det hade gjort för någon annan till. min glädje 😃 #kostaboda #kosta #bertilvallien #glaskonst #retro #secondhand #loppisfynd #loppis #återbruk #70tal #60tal #50tal #40tal #design #loppis #loppisfynd #design #secondhand #heminredning #interiordesign #inredning #retro #retrodesigns (på/i Wigrenska Palatset) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lZgHoAopY/?igshid=7ly6g5gt1r24

Brains Remember The Blue Sky by Bertil Vallien “Blue like the sky and the sea. Like a cloudless day, light-hearted. I think about it when the clouds roll in, and I’m in need of a daydream.” In the eighties, Swedish glass artist Bertil Vallien created the first Brains – the head, which has become one of his most prominent symbols. Since then, he has made a variety of ‘individuals’ and new expressions that he views as meditative anti-stress objects for both the hand and the eye. ‘Remember The Blue Sky’ is made of green glass and covered with powder pigment in a blue shade. . . . . . #SwedishClass #SwedishGlassArt #SwedishArtists #SwedishDesign #RememberTheBlueSky #Sky #BrainsSculpture #Brains #bertilvallien #bertilvallienglass #KostaBoda #KostaBodaGlass #KostaBodaSculpture #westovergallery (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9ccsgo_Hh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I make boats that sink. Sink through memories and dreams. I make boats that do not need latitudes, they navigate like glazed vessels toward the horizons of the imagination. One container for Moses and one for the Viking chief. The traveler must rely on the thin skin which is the only thing that separates her from the unknown. . . . . . . . #glass #glassart #glassartist #glassblowing #bertilvallien #kostaboda #headman #boats #memories #nostalgia #instasculpture #sculptureofinstagram #sundaymotivation #gift #instagift #encapsulate #westovergallery #artgallery (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7M1SWrVxu/?utm_medium=tumblr
