Description
Elliot Walker 'Porcelain Bloom I' sculpture Freeblown and hotsculpted glass, modelled as an urn with flowers and foliage. 81 cm high, 35 cm wide, 40 cm deep Signed Elliot Walker to foot of vase. Footnotes: Biography Elliot Walker is an extremely talented and exciting glass artist, who kickstarted his career by working for eight years in the London Glassblowing studio after graduating with a Masters in Applied Arts from Wolverhampton University. He is one of a handful of glassblowers who focuses on sculpting molten glass at exceptionally high temperatures - a challenging and intense experience that demands consummate skill, dexterity and speed. Since winning Series Two of the Netflix programme, Blown Away in 2021, Elliot has catapulted further onto the world stage, becoming one of the glass world's most in-demand artists. He has exhibited widely throughout the UK and his work is collected internationally. Elliot draws inspiration from an eclectic range of sources; abandonment, the human figure, environmental catastrophe and fine art, including the magnificent Still Lives by the great masters of the Flemish and Dutch Schools of painting. Originally a student of psychology, he believes our understanding of the mind and its true effects on the body are derived from theoretical constructs. This naturally translates into his glass sculptures, where the representation of the human figure has always been a significant aspect of his work. Leaving the objective truth open to interpretation, Elliot treats the glass as a surface to sculpt, as well as a material with accessible depth and mystery. His versatility and inventiveness place him firmly among the most accomplished of glass artists working in hot glass today.
