David Schwarz

David Schwarz creates glass sculptures from blown forms the surfaces of which are heavily embellished with illusionistic landscapes.

Artists and artisans throughout history have employed their skills to embellish the objects that they have created with signs, symbols, marks and pictures that are meant to imbue the objects with extra meaning/beauty/resonance.

For David, the surface work is akin to creating drawings in three dimensions that are full of color and movement. Taking advantage of the optical qualities of the glass to create kaleidoscopic effects, David is able to create floating fantastic landscapes. The resulting sculptures juxtapose the restraint of the forms themselves with the exuberance of the landscapes he has created on their surfaces.
