about

'Bubblewrap in Aurora' is a handblown and sculpted vase created from glass by the British artist, Allister Malcolm.

Playful yet elegant, Malcolm has formed oversized bubbles on the exterior of this handcrafted and blown piece. The title of the artwork shows the artist's sense of fun, however, the final artwork has a strong graphic presence. 

Pieces from this collection have been purchased by the Imagine Museum, Florida, USA and the Glassmuseum Lette, Germany.

In the artist's own words;

"Diving has become an all encompassing passion of mine. A way of escaping the stresses of everyday life, immersing myself in another world. Fascination came initially watching bubbles released with each breath and their ascent to the surface. This body of work entitled “Bubble-wrap” developed as a result. The pallet used represents colour absorption. Descending deeper red is the first colour to be absorbed followed by orange, yellow etc. As the work developed I realised that to escape blowing bubbles for a living I had chosen to watch them instead. Life for me is all about the bubbles!"

The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
