Hammered on glass<\/a>\u00a0<\/h2>

a new series of works\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

In autumn 2024, I came across works by Swiss glass artist Simon Berger online by chance and was immediately blown away. This special way of using glass not only as a material but also as an image carrier fascinated me from the very first moment. The idea of using targeted hammer blows to create structures, plays of light and depth in an otherwise smooth surface never let go of me.<\/p>

In the weeks that followed, I began to familiarise myself intensively with this technique:
with the completely new \"Painting ground\"<\/em> Glass, the procurement, the possibilities of setting up and hanging, the backing of colours and the conscious development of contrasts. At the same time, I quickly realised that this process brings its own challenges. Hammering on glass generates a lot of noise - you can't do it without hearing protection. Every blow harbours the risk of fine or large glass splinters, which is why safety goggles and gloves are essential. The work also produces fine glass dust that floats in the air; a mask protects against inhaling it and, last but not least, leather gloves must also protect the hands from the sharp glass splinters.<\/p>

But it's not just the creation process that has its pitfalls - photographic reproduction also requires a sure instinct. Glass reflects every light source, every movement in the room, every shadow. The right position, controlled light and the right background are crucial in order to make the delicate structures and fractures visible. I have an experienced partner at my side for the precise design of these backgrounds with the stripes that are characteristic of my work: Peter Mungenast from Mags Gerstgrasser realises my ideas perfectly.<\/p>

Despite - or perhaps because of - these challenges, I created my first glass works: each piece is a play of light, fragmentation and form. I eventually published a few of them on Facebook, where they provoked exciting reactions.<\/p>

With \"Hammered on Glass\" I am now opening a new series of works that is far removed from traditional painting and yet deeply connected to my previous work: experimental, direct, powerful - and always with respect for the fascinating but fragile material.<\/p>

I invite you to discover this new world between fragility and expressiveness in the following gallery. Some of the works on display are still available for purchase - if you are interested, please contact me. I am happy to take <\/strong>also Orders<\/strong> against<\/strong> and realise individual wishes in my personal handwriting.<\/p>
