When considering artwork for a wall space, glass can be an exciting and dimensional alternative to a painting or print.  Pieces, such as Jamie Harris' Mod Series can be designed for any size space in endless composition. These blown and carved glass forms, which combine multiple layers of color, are ideal for any contemporary interior, residential or commercial. Beyond creating works which can be purchased directly from the gallery, Harris spends much time executing site specific installations for clients. " My work is greatly influenced by color theory and abstract concepts, rather than reflections on historical glass."  The gallery recently organized a dynamic commision piece for a customer in Houston and Harris was able to provide a palette of hundreds of glass colors from which to choose.  Layered and carved elements are $1,400 and solid forms are $400, which allows great budget flexibility, whether your space is 2' or 20'. 

The Marta Hewett Gallery is pleased to present 15 new glass works by Sungsoo Kim, in his first solo exhibit in the U.S. and the first formal exhibit in our new gallery space.  Inspired by the forms found in styrofoam packing, Sungsoo combines brilliantly colored, cast glass elements to create elegant, architectural sculpture.  After making a mold from the original, styrofoam forms, Kim recombines the new glass renditions and brings attention to the shape, space and texture of something we intially ignore and, ultimately, throw away.  Hence, his exhibit title, Rediscovery.  Sungsoo Kim was recently featured in American Craft Magazine as an emerging artist of note.  He currently teaches advanced glass casting and fusing at the Cleveland Institute of Art.  Rediscovery can be seen through May 15th.
