Close Encounter Large Fume Amber
Description
The Close Encounter Large Fume Amber Glass Sculpture is a profound creation by Belgian artist and esteemed architect Stefan Sch̦ning. This abstract masterpiece was born from the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic when governments implemented safety measures that, while necessary, left people feeling isolated and detached from one another. It was this longing for closeness that inspired Sch̦ning to conceive Close Encounters.
Instead of capturing distance, the artist chose to encapsulate its antithesis: intimacy. The selection of glass as the medium for Close Encounters was deliberate. Glass can be mouth-blown, and its inherent properties allow two 'bubbles' to embrace each other in perfect harmony. Moreover, the transparency of the artwork, coupled with its complementary colours, enhances the captivating effect of attraction.
This blown glass sculpture not only showcases Stefan Sch̦ning's exceptional artistic prowess but also serves as a poignant reflection of the human yearning for connection during challenging times. Close Encounter is a testament to the power of art to convey complex emotions and provide solace in the face of adversity.
