StudioGallery Celebrates Launch of New Mixed Media Exhibit; Grand Opening Features Exhibition by Master Studio Glass Artist James Stone

Inspired by the underwater world of the oceans the artist work today is the convergence of his experiences of living around water from early childhood through adult life. As a boy the artist was fascinated with the mysteries of underwater existence. The liquid crystal quality of water, (which resembles that of glass) and the never-ending study of the strange and wonderful creatures that lived with in it, became a life long passion. Creating illusions of underwater environments in glass, copper and water infuses the work with the life-force energy of fire and forge. It?s artist?s hope that as the viewer becomes lost in the sight, sound and feel of the work, they become gently charged with that same life-force energy, while still experiencing the peaceful relaxing sense of visiting a strange and wonderful underwater world.

The artist?s techniques of combining the elements of copper, water and glass are steeped in the ancient history of humanity. Copper and glass share that long history, both being products of the smelting pot and 5000 years of development. Water is perhaps nature?s most essential element, enabling life itself. As an artist who enjoys working in the ancient arts, it became clear that copper, water and glass are the perfect palette.

The exhibit is curated by StudioGallery. For over 14 years, StudioGallery has been exhibiting artwork in alternative spaces and in alternative ways. Unlike a traditional gallery, StudioGallery brings artwork to public places with the goal of building a bridge between the art world and the community. This concept provides the artist with a valuable opportunity to gain exposure while at the same time allowing us to provide for our clients and collectors a wide variety of artwork all in one unique gallery experience. By utilizing readily accessible locations such as restaurants, hotels, and other public places, StudioGallery introduces art in different and dynamic ways.
