Opis obiektu kolekcjonerskiego

Scott Chaseling initially studied sculpture at art school but in the 1980s he was drawn to the medium of glass and undertook a traineeship in glass-blowing at the Jam Factory in Adelaide. He subsequently worked with glass artists in Australia and the United States of America, and in 1991 completed post-graduate studies in glass at the ANU School of Art. Chaseling has a strong international reputation in hot glass for his technical expertise and innovation and his conceptual freshness. His work has been included in many solo and group exhibitions in Australia and overseas, and he has been the recipient of a number of prestigious glass awards, including the 2002 Gold Medal at the Bavarian State Prize in Munich, Germany and the 2004 Ranamok Glass Prize, the major Australian award for the medium. Chaseling’s favoured form is a large open vase carrying a combination of pattern and visual narrative, inside and outside. The artist paints images with colour glass enamels onto white glass, which is then fused with cut and tiled Bullseye colour glass, achieving a complex layered interaction of pattern and visual narrative. The fused sheets are rolled up into a cylindrical form and blown, a process requiring the expertise of several glass technicians. The surface is then ground back. The ‘roll-up’ process, a combination of fusing and blowing, was pioneered in international studio glass production by Chaseling and fellow glass artist Kirstie Rea. In his work Chaseling is essentially a storyteller whose engaging images derive from nostalgic popular culture such as comic books and boys’ own annuals. There is a dream-like quality in his snapshots of familiar, ordinary life and a nod to another time, a parallel world of memories and associations. For the artist the images exist to suggest rather than circumscribe, and their decorative setting and enigmatic texts further locate them in the spaces of the imagination. Chaseling’s vigorous style and bold palette reflect the influence of the Venetian glass tradition; paradoxically the modernity of his work and its technical bravura confirms its place within the medium’s enduring language of ornamentation and innovation.

Scott Chaseling: Sculptural Glass – A Journey Through Form and Light

Scott Chaseling, born in Darwin, Australia, in 1962, stands as a singular figure within the contemporary glass art landscape. His artistic vision transcends mere craftsmanship; it’s an exploration of materiality, process, and ultimately, the evocative power of light itself—themes consistently interwoven throughout his oeuvre. From early studies at Canberra School of Art to postgraduate qualifications honed at the University of Sydney, Chaseling's formal education instilled a foundational understanding of artistic principles alongside technical mastery. His breakthrough came with the adoption of glass casting – a technique demanding precision and patience – allowing him to transform molten glass into monumental sculptural forms that defy gravity and captivate viewers. This method isn’t simply about replicating shapes; it’s about coaxing inherent qualities from the material itself, revealing textures and patterns born from heat and vibration. Chaseling's pieces often resemble geological formations or abstracted landscapes, mirroring his fascination with natural processes and their impact on form. He meticulously considers how light interacts with surface irregularities, creating mesmerizing visual effects that elevate his sculptures beyond mere aesthetic appeal. Influenced by Minimalist aesthetics and a deep appreciation for Japanese ceramics – particularly Raku firing—Chasingel’s work embodies a deliberate restraint that prioritizes essential visual elements. The resulting sculptures possess an ethereal beauty, capturing fleeting moments of luminescence and inviting contemplation about the relationship between artist and material. He cites artists like Richard Glazier and Edmund Stoneman as formative inspirations, recognizing their commitment to exploring the expressive potential of glass beyond conventional decorative applications. Their influence is palpable in Chaseling’s unwavering focus on form and texture—a stylistic hallmark that distinguishes his work from more flamboyant explorations of the medium. A testament to his dedication is the prestigious Ranamok Glass Prize awarded in 2009, acknowledging his contribution to Australian glass art. This accolade solidified Chaseling's reputation as a visionary innovator within the field, propelling him onto the international stage and securing prominent placements for his sculptures in esteemed collections including the National Gallery of Australia and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. His artistic journey continues to inspire fellow artists and captivate audiences worldwide, demonstrating the enduring power of sculptural glass—a medium capable of conveying profound ideas about beauty, transformation, and the sublime.

Notable Exhibitions: Solo exhibitions at Peter Scott Gallery (Lancaster University), Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery, and numerous international showcases.
Education: Lecturer in Glass Art at Canberra School of Art and University of Sydney
Awards: Ranamok Glass Prize (2009)

He began his artistic pursuits with a grounding in sculptural techniques—primarily stone carving—before discovering the transformative potential of glass casting. This pivotal moment redirected his creative energies toward mastering the intricacies of molten glass manipulation, unlocking new avenues for artistic expression and establishing Small Impact Studio alongside fellow artist Gina Fairley. Throughout his career, Chaseling has consistently sought to push boundaries, experimenting with innovative combinations of materials and processes—a characteristic that underscores his unwavering commitment to artistic exploration and innovation. His work stands as a compelling dialogue between tradition and experimentation, reflecting a profound understanding of both craftmanship and conceptual artistry.
