DALE CHIHULY AT THE HALCYON GALLERY
Posted by Mike Potts
Jennie Spiller and I made it down to the Halcyon Gallery on New Bond Street at the weekend to have a look at Dale Chihuly’s glass blowing exhibition.
Chihuly is widely regarded as the most exciting and spectacular artist working in contemporary glass, credited with elevating the medium from the realm of craft to groundbreaking fine art. A prodigiously prolific artist, whose work balances content with thorough investigations in to the properties of glass, Chihuly began working with the material at a time when reverence for glass-making and technique was paramount.
It’s one of the most impressive fine art exhibitions I’ve been to in a long time and the setting reflects this. Well worth a visit and on until the end of March if you are in London at any point.

Anyone who has the opportunity should defiantly go and see this exhibition. It was amazing!
Not only are the glass sculptures alone totally amazing, but the lighting for each piece is specifically designed to highlight the shapes and create beautiful glows and shadows on the walls and floors around them.
I did a project for him a few years ago and his helpers are called Chilulians – brilliant! They didn’t see the funny side when I asked if any of them were called Julian Chihulian…
