'Komorebi in Weimaraner' is a unique handblown & sculpted glass and gold leaf artwork by the British artist, Louis Thompson.

The title for this collection incorporates the Japanese word 'Komorebi' which literally translates as “sunlight leaking through trees". For Thompson, the inclusion of gold with its reflective qualities, felt evocative of this concept, of the dappled light that penetrates leafy canopies.

Thompson has exhibited extensively in the UK, Europe, USA and Japan. In 2012 Thompson received two prestigious awards in the UK: British Glass Biennale Winner and the Jerwood Foundation Makers Commission. He has been invited to create installations for various museums and international exhibitions and his work is held in permanent museum collections in Belgium, Germany, Japan, Czech Republic, the USA and the V&A Museum in London. Thompson has completed International residencies at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, The Glazenhuis Museum in Belgium and most recently at Soneva Art Glass in the Maldives.
