Descrição da Obra

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, represents a singular voice within the contemporary glass art landscape—a visionary artist who elevates craftsmanship to an exploration of materiality, process, and the mesmerizing interplay between form and light. His artistic trajectory began with formative studies at Canberra School of Art and deepened during postgraduate qualifications at the University of Sydney, equipping him with both foundational artistic principles and unparalleled technical mastery. His breakthrough arrived with the embrace of glass casting—a technique demanding unwavering precision and patience—allowing him to transform molten glass into monumental sculptural forms that defy gravity and captivate viewers’ gaze. This method transcends mere replication; it's a deliberate coaxing of inherent qualities from the material itself, revealing textures and patterns born from heat and vibration—echoes of geological formations and abstracted landscapes mirroring Chaseling’s profound fascination with natural processes and their transformative impact on artistic expression. Influenced by Minimalist aesthetics and imbued with a deep reverence for Japanese ceramics, particularly Raku firing—a method celebrated for its unpredictable beauty and ephemeral glow—Chasingel's oeuvre embodies a deliberate restraint that prioritizes essential visual elements. The resulting sculptures possess an ethereal quality, capturing fleeting moments of luminescence and prompting contemplation about the artist’s relationship to the material itself—a dialogue between human intention and elemental forces. Artists like Richard Glazier and Edmund Stoneman served as formative inspirations, recognizing their pioneering commitment to unlocking the expressive potential of glass beyond conventional decorative applications. A testament to his unwavering dedication is the prestigious Ranamok Glass Prize awarded in 2009, acknowledging Chaseling’s seminal contribution to Australian glass art and securing his place among the foremost sculptors of his generation. His sculptures are held in prominent collections across Australia and internationally—including the National Gallery of Australia and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington—a visible affirmation of his artistic legacy and enduring influence on the field.

Early Influences: Chaseling’s initial artistic explorations were shaped by a fascination with geometric abstraction and a desire to distill visual experience into its purest form.
Technique & Method: He honed his skills through meticulous glass casting, mastering the manipulation of molten glass under controlled conditions—a process that demands both technical precision and intuitive understanding.
Philosophical Vision: Chaseling’s artistic philosophy centers on capturing fleeting moments of beauty and conveying profound ideas about transformation—themes consistently reflected in his sculptural works.

His artistic journey continued with residencies at prestigious institutions worldwide, fostering collaborations and expanding his creative horizons. He actively engages in teaching roles, nurturing the next generation of glass artists while maintaining a prolific studio practice focused on pushing the boundaries of sculptural form and exploring innovative techniques—a commitment to experimentation that underscores his enduring passion for the medium. Today, Scott Chaseling stands as an exemplar of artistic integrity and innovation—a sculptor who has consistently pursued excellence while remaining true to his core aesthetic principles. His sculptures resonate with audiences globally, embodying a timeless beauty born from meticulous craftsmanship and infused with a deep appreciation for the transformative power of light—a legacy that secures his place as one of Australia’s most celebrated contemporary artists.
