Dale Chihuly : Lumière

4 Dec 2014-31 Jan 2015

Overview

Dale Chihuly’s use of drawing as a medium has evolved throughout his career. Beginning as illustrative tools used to direct and inspire his visions for glass – his drawings have become increasingly important as independent outlets for his expression, whilst simultaneously providing a vital means for him to release his energy. Chihuly’s Electric Blue Neon will also be exhibited at Lumieré. Chihuly has revisited his work in neon several times over his career thus far, pioneering his innovative early applications in the material whilst a graduate student in the late sixties and then as a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design.
