Before I became an interior decorator, I was a fulltime artist. The best medium has consistently been glass although I worked in a number of different mediums. Glass artwork is definitely a passion of mine — I adore the colours, depth and translucency.
Due to The see-through character of glass, there are a few specific factors to make in positioning and lights to best show your glass artwork. Below are a few tips that are helpful.

Glass wants light to to feed it when it’s see-through. These glass panels were created by me and had them cast with an area glass studio. Each panel is 30″ wide by 54″ tall and 1.5″ thick. They weigh 220 lbs. each! To permit light to go through to showcase the exceptional colours, I ‘d custom metal holders produced that are set to the walls and that support the glass about 6″ away from your wall.

Lights are positioned above and below the panels. In this instance, the lights are in fact geared toward the wall so the light bounces off the beaten track and passes ahead through the glass that is coloured.

These impressive glass panels can also be installed floating away in the walls, using a wall functioning as a backdrop that was perfect. So that you can throw shadows because of this bit of artwork, rather of of sunshine originating from behind, the source of light comes out of a ceiling spotlight before the glass. The shadows subsequently become element of the artwork. The bodies seem to be wrestling with each other as well as the shadows put in the bit and a sensation of motion.

Then partitions might function as way for you yourself to go, in the event that you adore glass artwork. To discuss your own narrative, among my customers came home from your shop so thrilled because she’d located a clear although lovely, vibrant turquoise-coloured glass platter. The turquoise colour burned in the bright- nearly entirely white and lit shop. Sadly, the sole areas to set this platter in her very own house had no method to offer light from behind and darkish wood-paneling on the partitions. It finished up up searching darkish and drab, and she was really disappointed.
The colours of the wonderful platters present up spectacularly from this this white wall.

Oh — Did I-say that in order for it to appear great, you needed seriously to set glass facing a wall? Well, perhaps not precisely. These yellowish wall bits by Robert Kaindl appear stunning against this wall that is black. Here’s why: They possess a top portion of glass included. The wall that is black exhibits through the see-through regions adding contrast with all the yellow which appears nicely contrary to the darkish wall.
Thus as a guidepost: should you be putting a part of glass which is all or mostly see-through, the colours will show up better in entrance of white and with mild originating from behind it. However, if the glass is mainly opaque, then you certainly light it in the front and can set it in entrance of any colour wall.
