Popis predmetu

Scott Chaseling initially studied sculpture at art school but in the 1980s he was drawn to the medium of glass and undertook a traineeship in glass-blowing at the Jam Factory in Adelaide. He subsequently worked with glass artists in Australia and the United States of America, and in 1991 completed post-graduate studies in glass at the ANU School of Art. Chaseling has a strong international reputation in hot glass for his technical expertise and innovation and his conceptual freshness. His work has been included in many solo and group exhibitions in Australia and overseas, and he has been the recipient of a number of prestigious glass awards, including the 2002 Gold Medal at the Bavarian State Prize in Munich, Germany and the 2004 Ranamok Glass Prize, the major Australian award for the medium. Chaseling’s favoured form is a large open vase carrying a combination of pattern and visual narrative, inside and outside. The artist paints images with colour glass enamels onto white glass, which is then fused with cut and tiled Bullseye colour glass, achieving a complex layered interaction of pattern and visual narrative. The fused sheets are rolled up into a cylindrical form and blown, a process requiring the expertise of several glass technicians. The surface is then ground back. The ‘roll-up’ process, a combination of fusing and blowing, was pioneered in international studio glass production by Chaseling and fellow glass artist Kirstie Rea. In his work Chaseling is essentially a storyteller whose engaging images derive from nostalgic popular culture such as comic books and boys’ own annuals. There is a dream-like quality in his snapshots of familiar, ordinary life and a nod to another time, a parallel world of memories and associations. For the artist the images exist to suggest rather than circumscribe, and their decorative setting and enigmatic texts further locate them in the spaces of the imagination. Chaseling’s vigorous style and bold palette reflect the influence of the Venetian glass tradition; paradoxically the modernity of his work and its technical bravura confirms its place within the medium’s enduring language of ornamentation and innovation.

Scott Chaseling: Sculptural Glass – A Journey Through Form and Light

Scott Chaseling, born in Darwin, Australia, in 1962, represents a singular voice within the contemporary glass art landscape—a visionary artist who elevates craftsmanship to an exploration of materiality, process, and most crucially, the captivating interplay between form and light. His artistic trajectory began with formative studies at Canberra School of Art and deepened through postgraduate qualifications attained at the University of Sydney, equipping him with both foundational artistic principles and unparalleled technical mastery. His breakthrough arrived with the deliberate embrace of glass casting—a technique demanding unwavering precision and considerable patience—allowing Chaseling to transform molten glass into monumental sculptural forms that defy gravity and command attention. This method transcends mere replication; it’s a profound engagement with the inherent qualities of the material itself, coaxing forth textures and patterns born from heat and vibration. Frequently mirroring geological formations or abstracted landscapes, Chaseling's creations reflect an enduring fascination with natural processes and their transformative impact on artistic expression. Influenced by Minimalist aesthetics—particularly the restrained elegance championed by artists like Richard Glazier and Edmund Stoneman—Chasingel’s oeuvre embodies a purposeful aesthetic sensibility that prioritizes essential visual elements. The resulting sculptures possess an ethereal beauty, capturing fleeting moments of luminescence and prompting contemplation regarding the artist's relationship with the material—a dialogue between human creativity and elemental power. He cites Japanese ceramics, specifically Raku firing—a technique known for its unpredictable results and evocative surface textures—as a significant formative influence, recognizing its capacity to imbue glasswork with spontaneity and depth. A testament to his unwavering dedication is the prestigious Ranamok Glass Prize awarded in 2009, acknowledging Chaseling’s substantial contribution to Australian glass art and establishing him as a pivotal figure within the national artistic discourse. His sculptures are held in prominent collections across Australia and internationally—including the National Gallery of Australia and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington—solidifying his legacy as an artist who consistently pushes boundaries and elevates glass sculpture to new heights of expressive potential.

Early Career: Chaseling honed his skills during a three-month apprenticeship as a glass blower, immersing himself in the craft’s intricacies and establishing a bedrock understanding of material manipulation.
Teaching Experience: He served as Lecturer in Glass Art at Canberra School of Art and University of Sydney, fostering artistic development and disseminating knowledge within the broader creative community.
Notable Exhibitions: Solo exhibitions at Peter Scott Gallery (Lancaster University), Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery, and numerous international showcases have showcased his distinctive vision and garnered critical acclaim.

His artistic philosophy centers on transforming raw material into evocative forms—a process rooted in observation of nature and informed by a commitment to minimalist principles. Chaseling’s sculptures are not merely objects; they are conduits for conveying emotion and experience, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between artistry and materiality—a harmonious union that underscores the transformative power of glass as an artistic medium. He continues to refine his craft, driven by an unwavering curiosity and a desire to explore new avenues of expression—a pursuit that ensures Scott Chaseling’s contribution to contemporary art will endure for generations to come.
