Chris Belleau — Belleau Art Glass
You are bidding on this exceptional hand-blown glass pumpkin. Great as an autumn decoration or a year-round work of art. Measures approximately 8 inches by 6 inches, this piece is truly infused with an organic sensibility that matches its ethereal quality. A must have!
Artist Statement
There are many reasons why I work with glass. Though I was trained as a potter, apprenticing at age 13 to a craftsman from my home town in Wisconsin, I was eventually drawn to the more ethereal, fluid and translucent qualities of glass. But what really hooked me was the opportunity glass provides to play with color. I am the only glass blower in Rhode Island that makes colored glass from the raw ingredients on a regular basis. This allows for variations of intensity of hue, tone and depth which are not available with commercial colors. Recently, I have been experimenting with irridizing hot glass. I am captivated by the rainbow flow of colors with the variations of metallic and matt surface textures.
I hope that the viewer finds my work to have a sense of beauty, magic, and maybe, even humor. It is a pleasure for me to share what I do. I find it all great fun and an endless challenge.
