Now at Fabrik Gallery Featured Artist: Yosuke Miyao, Japan Yosuke Miyao (b.1972) is a Japanese glass artist who creates glass sculptures using float glass. Yosuke uses a bending technique to produce his work, molding each piece from single sheet of float glass. Glass softens and transforms at a temperature of over 1,112°F. A typical technique of shaping glass is to pour melted glass into a mold. However, when molding glass, it is it is impossible not to have irremovable traces on a glass surface. That is why the artist chooses to use float glass. These sheets of flat glass are heated repeatedly, bent with the aid of special equipment designed by the artist and gravity, until they form natural three-dimensional shapes resembling the artist’s design and vision. |
Artist Spotlight - Xu Songbo
Xu Songbo was born in
1971 in Nanyang, Henan province.
Since his childhood, Xu has been
studying the Tang Dynasty. This long-held
admiration for the Tang has led the
artist on a quest to use his paintbrush
to recount the story of the great
Tang Dynasty's many characters and spirits. According to Xu, to
truly understand the spirit and culture
of the Tang, one must experience the
lifestyle of the era, which is why he took
up the practice of archery - a skill
crucial to the creation of his artwork. Xu Songbo
received a BA from the Fine Arts Department of Henan
University and an MA from the China
Central Academy of Fine Arts. He is currently a Vice
Professor at the Tianjin Academy of
Fine Arts. Fabrik Gallery 1102 Nam Wo Hong Building,
