Description

A clear tube shape with a green base and a purple flower. Artist Kevin Shluker realizes sculpture from molten glass that is inspired by his past and present surroundings. After a brief period under the tutelage of Charlie Miner at the Tesuque Glassworks, Shluker decided to pursue his education from the masters of Murano, an island in the Venetian Lagoon known for a millennium of history in the art of glassblowing. Fortune led him to the door of maestro Dino Rosin, who would become Shluker’s friend and mentor. Now, with his studio based out of Oregon, Kevin has found that the lush and oversized environment of the Oregon wilderness has shaped his art as much as the misted and dramatic scapes of Venice, or the arid and expansive badlands of New Mexico.
