Capturing light and releasing it throughout the confines of a transparent material has been the longtime vision for many glass artisans. For one artist, the playful dilution of bold colors into the media can add a striking depth to the translucent beauty it possesses.


Latchezar Boyadjiev grew up in Sofia Bulgaria, attending the Academy of Applied Arts for his initial immersion into the creative world. Despite starting off as a cold-glass sculptor who mastered the techniques of cutting, polishing and grinding objects of optical glass, Latchezar in his later years began to lean towards expanding past the limits of these methodologies, choosing to emerge as a cast glass sculptor.


His ethereal creations look almost luminous in their form, even more so when set against bright cascading light which flows through their interiors and livens up the vibrant hues dissolved in their clear compositions.



Latchezar's fame as a glass sculptor is now internationally recognized throughout the global communities, with much of his work being displayed throughout various galleries and museums across the United States and Great Britain.

Solid materials are often imagined to be edgy, sharp and block-like. Sculptures in the traditional sense exhibit these traits quite commonly, yet the modern generation seeks to challenge the usual stereotypes by which artforms are too commonly judged by.



Meet Richard Dupont, an established painter and sculptor whose artworks have been exhibited across several institutions, such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Yale University art gallery.



Richard works with a multitude of materials and methodologies, distorting the traditionally known physique of a person by stretching, warping and rippling his media into original visual depictions of the human anatomy. Described as a post-digital and post-conceptual sculptor, he often uses digitized models of his own body as a base form rather than his actual physical body.



The sculptures he produces can sometimes be likened to how one may view a subject from above clear foreign substance, such as moving water or vertically shifted glass panels. They inherently manifest themselves in a very interesting, yet unexplainable style of expression that seems to break off drastically from the classic proportions set forth by nature and biology.
