about
'Beyond the Horizon V' is a unique handblown and sculpted glass artwork by the British artist, Louis Thompson.
In the artist's own words:
"Beyond the Horizon, where the known and the unknown meet. The precipice on the horizon invites the viewer to explore the terrain beyond, to seek, to strive and discover. These new glass sculptures examine scale, perspective and presence. The small tree like structures appear on the edge of a landscape to defy and define existence, while contemplating the possibilities beyond the naked eye."
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.
The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
