![Randi Solin - A featured artist at the Lanning Gallery [Sedona Arizona]](images/solin_title.jpg) |
| |
| Randi Solin has been devoted
to the art of blown glass for over twenty years. Her
impeccable technical skills and imaginative
coloration style has led to innumerable Best in Show
and Best in Class awards and she has pieces in the
permanent collections of The White House, The United
States Embassies in Algeria and Guinea and several
U.S. museums; Solin has been exhibited in museums
and gallery shows across the country. |
|
Representing a fusion of the
American Studio Art Glass
movement and classic
Venetian glassblowing, each
one of Solin’s glass
sculptures requires a viewer
to interact with its
interior life, to feel its
incredible weight and mass,
and engage in its optics and
coloration.

| |
| As the artist explains, “My optics serve
as the window into my coloration process – into the soul of a
piece – allowing a viewer to peer into its life, like the rings
of a tree.” |

| Solin approaches
her work two-dimensionally, like a
painter to a canvas or a weaver using
thread to create an intricate tapestry.
“My glass pieces are compositions,”
Solin states, “and atypical to glass
blowing in general, they have a ‘front’.
Generally my forms have an
Asian-influenced simplicity, which
allows for my complex and painstaking
coloration process to unfold. I build
layer upon layer of color using glass in
all particle sizes - powder, cane, frit,
and rod - like a painter’s palette, to
create original homogeneous coloration
and truly one-of-a-kind work. |
| |
| “All of my pieces
are intellectually created on that
notion: that with each finished work, a
history is revealed. My layering and
coloration process is all about showing
that the piece was made over time. I
accentuate each individual layer, which
for me is a tremendously important
component to my work. My optics, the cut
and polish, the juxtaposition of this
organic form with this stark hard edge,
is unique to my work and a signature of
sorts.” |
| |
| To sum up, Solin
states simply, “I’m in love with the act
of blowing glass.” |
