Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features two distinct glass sculptures, showcasing the interplay of color, shape, and artistic technique. The blue bottle displays an abstract underwater scene, with fluid lines and a sense of movement captured within the glass. The amber-colored bottle, on the other hand, features a bold, expressive figure, hinting at a more representational approach. The contrasting styles and materials used in these pieces suggest an exploration of the versatility of glassblowing as a medium, allowing the artist to create both organic and figurative forms. The overall arrangement and juxtaposition of these two sculptures invite the viewer to consider the diverse artistic expressions possible within the contemporary glass art tradition. ...

Artist

Francis Upritchard

1976 , New Zealand

Francis Upritchard was born in 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand and lives and works in London and New Zealand. Upritchard’s work draws on figurative sculpture, blending references from literature to ancient sculptures, and burial grounds to science fiction. Her installations showcase a wide variety of materials; her distinctive figurative sculptures are made using polymer plastic, amorphous mythological figures in balata - a natural rubber, bronze dinosaurs, glass vessels and ceramic urns. ‘Upritchard questions how we construct a vision for the future through our fractured, partial and often conflicted understanding of the past. She creates a place where histories and archives can be viewed anew through playfully exploring aspects of partiality, misreading and uncanny coincidences. Upritchard’s mini worlds are anti-imperial and non-hierarchical - there is no dominant culture.’ Heather Galbraith. ...
