Alejandro National Academy of Fine Arts in Havana, made his way to
Spain and in 1993 arrived in Florida. His paintings are done
exclusively in oil and reflect the tension between the spiritual and
material work, between visible and invisible reality.

8. ALEX BERNSTEIN
The forms of Bernstein’s pieces – as well as the techniques he uses to work
the glass – mirror processes in nature, such as oxidation, erosion, growth
and decay. As a result, many of his pieces evoke images of flowing water,
ice crystals, mountain peaks and jagged canyons – all structures that seem
solid and unyielding, but are actually in constant flux.

9. WILFRIED GROOTENS
Grootens’ current glass work uses the optical float technique. He paints on
layers of glass and assembles them in stacks, laminating them together to
create cube forms. The cubes are cut and polished to perfection. Pieces in
the series, “Where the Shark Bubbles Blow”, are made from up to 35 layers of
glass. The painted surface is reflected on the planes of the cube;
duplicating itself in one view, disappearing entirely in another, creating a
dizzying display of optical illusion and geometry as art.

11. CHRISTOPHER RIES
Initially Christopher Ries was
fascinated with blown glass, but by
the late 1970s he was working in his
home studio, sculpting cold glass
using cutting, grinding and
polishing techniques. His interest
in cold glass was sparked by his
experience at the University of
Wisconsin, as a teaching assistant
to Harvey K. Littleton; who is
considered by many to be the founder
of the 20th century American studio
glass movement.
Working in his studio at Schott also
gives Ries the ability to create the
largest, whole, unassembled pieces
of sculpted crystal known. Ries
creates pieces that often weigh 200-
500 pounds and cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars. In his own
studio in rural Pennsylvania, he
carves smaller pieces that are up to
18″ in height.
