Chihuly’s passion for the glass medium gave rise to decades of experimentation which has led the artist’s work away from tradition to elicit organic forms, push boundaries of scale to study the powers of translucency and of light passing through color. This exploration has culminated in a series of work like Venetians, Baskets, Seaforms, and Persians, consistently explores organic forms, vibrant color, and dynamic asymmetry, celebrating unrestrained creativity inspired by the natural world, which reveals the aesthetic capacity of the material.
