3 Solo Shows Revised

Artists Petr Stanický, Richard Meitner and the De La Torre Brothers have each been given space at National Glass Centre to present a ‘solo show’. The result is three exhibitions presenting great contrast in terms of glass making technique, artistic approach and cultural influence.

The De La Torre Brothers’ work ranges from hot glass to lenticular printing. Their influences include traditional Mexican folk art, popular culture, art history and their Catholic upbringing.

Petr Stanický’s work is comparatively architectural and can relate as much to the space that it creates as it does to his use of glass and other materials. At National Glass Centre he has responded to the architecture of the building, creating new site-specific work.

Acknowledged internationally as a master of glass, Richard Meitner’s work links Surrealism with simple pure form. It combines humour, science and humanity and uses strong but delicately balanced colour and material combinations. The majority of work shown has been created for this exhibition and represents the most recent development in his practice.
